Rising Nigerian music star Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has shared a candid and emotionally charged reflection on his journey to the top of the Afrobeats scene.
The "Elon Musk" crooner revealed that his early days in the industry between 2023 and 2024 were marred by disrespect and a lack of acceptance from established colleagues.
In a recent outburst on social media platform X, Shallipopi expressed that the hostile environment he encountered during his breakout year significantly altered his personality.
According to his post, the singer felt belittled by fellow artists at a time when he expected professional camaraderie.
“2023/2024 many artist pour me spit for face…. I mean many, that’s why I’m extra mean, ogun go kill of una one by one as time dey go,” Shallipopi wrote in a raw vent of frustration.
Despite the alleged ill-treatment, Shallipopi’s career took flight following the viral success of his hit single, which later featured high-profile remixes.
Interestingly, the singer has previously singled out rapper Zlatan Ibile as a rare pillar of support, noting that the Zanku Records boss helped boost his career in October 2023 without charging a fee.
This latest revelation suggests that beneath the "Plutomania" fame lies a history of industry friction that continues to shape the artist's public persona.
