Shallipopi Parts Ways With Dapper Music

Nigerian music star, Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has decided to leave Dapper Music, the label that propelled him to stardom in 2023.

There were earlier speculations about his departure from the label, which played a significant role in his rise to prominence.

However, an investigation into Shallipopi’s social media accounts reveals that he has taken down Dapper Music’s name from his profile and has stopped following the label’s head.

Naijaonpoint reports that these actions seem to validate the claims of his separation.

This separation occurred shortly after Shallipopi launched his own label, Plutomania Records, featuring Zerry DL and Tega Boi as its main artists.

Shallipopi’s exit from Dapper Music happened just a couple of months after Seyi Vibez left the label.

Meanwhile, Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has claimed that the Nigerian music industry has been hurting him.

Naijaonpoint reports that the singer, in a post via his X handle, expressed concern about untalented artists gaining popularity in the Nigerian music industry due to extensive promotion.

Ruger stated that the situation has been hurting him because, regardless of an artist’s lack of talent, they can gain popularity if they have money for promotion.

He also lamented the use of autotunes by some artists, especially during stage performances.

He wrote: “The music scene has been hurting me coz no matter how shit an artist is, once there’s money for hype, Otilo.

“Now, let’s talk about the gaddamn autotunes on the mic when y’all perform. Next time, tell your engineer to shut it down when you’re about to speak coz you be speaking in Tunez wahalaaaaaa. Well, Ruger don’t need that shit. thank you.”
