Shallipopi Urges Nigerian Artists to Charge Based on Global Success
In a recent interview with News Central TV, Nigerian singer Shallipopi shared his thoughts on how artists should determine their fees, offering some advice to his fellow musicians.
He addressed the ongoing debate surrounding the high charges demanded by Nigerian artists, stating that an artist’s fee should be directly tied to the value of their music and its reach.
According to Shallipopi, an artist’s value is closely linked to the success of their music, particularly in terms of streaming numbers and overall impact.
He argued that artists whose music performs on par with international acts, such as American musicians, deserve to charge fees that reflect that level of success.
He emphasized that it’s not about inflating prices without reason but rather about matching one’s price to the level of achievement and recognition the music has garnered.
“It all boils down to where your music has reached. If your music is getting the same streams as an American artist, then it’s only fair to charge at that level.
But if your streams and success don’t match up, you shouldn’t overprice yourself,” Shallipopi explained.
His comments come at a time when some have raised concerns about Nigerian artists pricing themselves out of the local market, but Shallipopi firmly disputed this notion.
Instead, he believes that artists who have worked hard to achieve global recognition and massive streams have every right to set fees comparable to their international counterparts.
Ultimately, the value of an artist, according to him, lies in the measurable success of their music and its ability to resonate on a large scale.

Nollywood Actor, Pete Edochie, states that Igbo men can not be politicians. He shared that unlike the current politicians Igbo men can not over look an error twice.
It can be recalled that Actor Yul Edochie, called out that it’s time for Igbo men to become the president. Which prompted the discussion of Igbo people in politics.
Pete Edochie then stated in a recent interview, “An Igbo man is not a good politician. And I will tell you why, people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterised politics, can overlook a lot of things.”
“But the Igbo man is not constituted to condole treachery a second time. If you hurt the Igbo man once in politics, he will never give you an opportunity to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man.”
Nigerian actress, Queeneth Hilbert, caused stir amongst fans after she called out colleague, Yul Edochie in a now deleted post.
The actress accused Yul of getting lost in his choice of polygamous lifestyle. She took to her Instagram page to comment “GOD PUNISH YOU 🔨🔨🔨,” she wrote, followed by “A man that is locked up in 21 bottles” and “Polygamous FAGGOT F*CK YOU ‼️”
