Nigerian Afrobeats star Shallipopi, born Crown Uzama, continues to keep fans excited with hints of new music.
The Benin City-born singer took to X on Tuesday, casually posting a photo of himself in the studio, enjoying a plate of jollof rice. He captioned it, “New music Friday jorrrrrrrr”, teasing another release.
Fans are already speculating whether the relaxed meal might hint at the vibe or theme of his upcoming track.
Shallipopi first rose to fame with his viral 2023 hit “Elon Musk”, which dominated Nigeria’s Apple Music Top 100 charts and established him as one of the rising stars of Afrobeats.
His debut album, “Presido La Pluto”, and follow-up, “Shakespopi”, both topped charts, with singles like “ASAP” reaching number one on the TurnTable Top 100.
Most recently, he released “Laho” in March 2025, followed by the remix “Laho II” featuring Burna Boy and ODUMODUBLVCK in April.
Both tracks have strengthened his presence in the Nigerian music scene and expanded his growing fanbase.
With his teasing post on X, fans are eagerly anticipating what could be his next chart-topping release. The Plutomaniacs are already buzzing online, speculating on the sound and collaborators for his upcoming track.
Shallipopi’s journey from sharing freestyles on TikTok to becoming a mainstream Afrobeats sensation shows his rapid rise and continued influence in Nigerian music.
