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.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
