Nigerian music fans are buzzing with excitement over the announcement of a new collaboration between Afrobeats heavyweight Olamide Baddo and rising star Shallipopi.
Shallipopi, who has made a splash in the Nigerian music scene since 2022 with his blend of rap and Amapiano, and Olamide, a longstanding icon in the genre, were spotted together in what appears to be a video shoot, sparking speculation about their joint project.
The collaboration has generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly anticipating a track that could combine Olamide’s extensive experience and Shallipopi’s fresh sound. The synergy between Olamide’s decade-long influence and Shallipopi’s recent success is expected to produce a potential hit.
In 2024, both artists have been active in the music scene. Shallipopi’s latest album, Shakespopi, released in January, features the hit single ‘ASAP’. Olamide’s Ikigai, his 10th project, also dropped earlier this year and includes collaborations with notable artists such as Asake, Fireboy, and Lil Kesh.
While there’s no official release date yet for the collaboration, fans can expect the single to drop in the coming weeks. The partnership is set to highlight Olamide’s enduring talent and Shallipopi’s dynamic presence in the music industry.
