Shallipopi also recounted performing in clubs in Benin City for as little as N5,000 to help his mother pay bills.

Shallipopi would sneak out of the house at night to freestyle at local clubs like Jokers, returning home with just enough money to make a difference.

He described his experiences traveling across Nigeria, touring the 36 states not for fame but to survive and put food on the table.

He passionately wrote, “I’ve been to every part of Nigeria, going from town to town just to survive. I don’t know where you’re from, but you shouldn’t talk to me about shame.

This country is tough, and it doesn’t smile at anyone.
