Shallipopi Declares Olamide the King of Nigerian Street Music
Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, famously known as Shallipopi, has given high praise to renowned rapper Olamide, describing him as the true king of Nigerian street music.
In a recent interview with Naija FM, Shallipopi shared that he chose to feature Olamide, also known as Baddo, in his hit track Order because of Olamide’s strong influence and deep connection with street culture in Nigeria.
“Olamide is not just a rapper; he’s a symbol of street music in Nigeria,” Shallipopi expressed passionately.
“I featured him on Order because it’s a song that speaks to the streets, and no one embodies that spirit more than Baddo.
He’s like the father of street music here.”
In the same interview, Shallipopi confirmed that he has officially parted ways with Dapper Music, the record label he was signed to.
He clarified that his exit was amicable, following the expiration of his contract.
Dismissing rumors of a feud with the label, Shallipopi emphasized that there is no bad blood between him and Dapper Music, describing their current relationship as friendly and supportive.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
