Fast-rising Nigerian rapper Shallipopi is building anticipation for his upcoming album with a teaser of an unreleased single shared on his social media platforms. The snippet offers a fresh glimpse into the artist’s evolving sound, leaving fans buzzing with excitement in the comments section.
This new teaser serves as the latest move in Shallipopi’s preparation for his highly anticipated album, set to drop later in 2025. Known for his signature blend of Amapiano fusion, hip-hop, and Benin-inspired slang, Shallipopi has carved out a unique space in the Nigerian music scene, delivering infectious beats and relatable lyrics that resonate with his audience.
Since breaking into the mainstream with his viral hit Elon Musk, the rapper has consistently remained in the spotlight, cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s most dynamic hitmakers. Shallipopi recently fueled further excitement by sharing a screenshot of a video call with American rapper Swae Lee, sparking speculation about a potential collaboration on the upcoming project.
The album follows Shallipopi’s 2024 release Shakespopi, which faced heavy criticism for its perceived lack of effort in songwriting and delivery. Fans are eager to see how the rapper has grown creatively since then and whether he can surpass expectations with his latest work.
This new single will also mark Shallipopi’s first release since parting ways with Dapper Music over allegations of financial transparency issues, conflicts of interest, and an attempt to bind him to a controversial long-term contract.
With all eyes on Shallipopi, 2025 could be a defining year for the artist, as fans await what promises to be a thrilling chapter in his career.
