Before fame and chart-topping hits like “Elon Musk” and “Obapluto,” Shallipopi — whose real name is Crown Uzama — was a fast-rising local talent known for his unique blend of street slang, humor, and confidence.
The clip, which has now gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, captures a visibly excited Shallipopi celebrating with friends and classmates as they gathered around his newly acquired ride.

Known for his witty lyrics and unique slang, Shallipopi has since evolved into a household name in Afrobeats and street pop. His journey from a student hustler in Edo State to a global performer embodies the new wave of Nigerian youth who are redefining success through creativity and authenticity.
The throwback video has not only inspired fans but also reminded many of how far he has come in just a few years — proof that persistence truly pays off.
A True Edo Son Making Waves
