Nigerian singer Shallipopi slams critic Daniel Regha after his comment on his latest album, Auracle.
The critic stated that the singer’s album lacks lyrical growth and added that while the beats are good, it still lacks quality.
“Shallipopi can’t be considered a real artiste, just someone who has access to a studio; but he gets credit for putting his state on the map. His latest album Auracle is a painful listen with no lyrical evolvement, substance, or creativity shown. Aside from some good beats, each track gets progressively worse than the previous one.”

Nigerian singer Lojay speaks about relationships and shares his experience and challenges. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his last relationship and stated that he almost lost himself.
“There was a time when I loved someone deeply but ended up losing myself along the way, Love should build you up, not diminish you. Since then, I’ve focused on writing from a place of balanced affection and awareness.”
“I truly value the support, but I’ve learned the importance of limits. You can’t entertain every kind of energy. Losing that boundary makes the music feel staged rather than genuine,” he added.
