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.

In a recent development, Gold Medalist, the agency representing renowned actor Kim Soo Hyun, has confirmed his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron.
The agency clarified that the two were romantically involved from the summer of 2019 to the autumn of 2020, a period during which Kim Sae Ron was legally an adult. This statement is to dispel circulating rumors suggesting that their relationship began when she was still a minor.
The controversy intensified following allegations made by the Garo Sero Institute on YouTube, which claimed that Kim Soo Hyun had dated Kim Sae Ron while she was underage. In response, Gold Medalist provided detailed clarifications, stating, “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated after she became an adult. It is completely untrue that they were in a relationship when she was a minor.”
The agency further addressed specific claims regarding photographs shared by the institute, noting that the images in question were taken during their relationship in 2019 and 2020, not in 2016 as alleged.
They emphasized that metadata from one particular photo indicated it was captured on December 24, 2019, and that the clothing worn by Kim Sae Ron in the image was released by the brand in June 2019, making it impossible for the photo to have been taken in 2016.
Additionally, the agency addressed speculation surrounding a letter Kim Soo Hyun sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service.
They explained that it was a casual letter exchanged between close friends and that the phrase “I miss you” was commonly used among friends in the military. The agency dismissed claims that the letter indicated a romantic relationship dating back to 2015 as misleading.
Gold Medalist also expressed concern over Kim Soo Hyun’s current mental state, revealing that he is under extreme stress following the reports. They noted that individuals with cameras have been lurking around the company premises, adding to the stress.
The agency emphasized that, while public figures are subject to scrutiny, the past relationship between two consenting adults is now being distorted into a false narrative.
