Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi has revealed why he is scared of falling in love.
In the recent episode of The Receipts Podcast, Shallipopi said this generation of ladies makes him afraid to love.
The singer said he developed a fragile heart after a lover broke his heart.
“I am a lover of love but I do not love because of the way this generation is,” he said.
“My heart is fragile so if someone plays with it, I will cry. Someone broke my heart in the past. We were in a relationship, then something happened and we broke up. The fault was not from me.”
He also disclosed that he is currently single and not searching but “patiently waiting for somebody that can match my vibe”.
In December 2023, Shallipopi declared that he loves Odumodublvck, his colleague, more than his girlfriend.
Odumodublvck had performed at Davido’s recent concert which was held at the Eagles Square in Abuja.
Shallipopi took to his page on X to share a clip of Odumodublvck’s performance.
In another post, he wrote in Pidgin English, “I love @Odumodublvck_ pass my babe.”
Shallipopi and Odumodu collaborated on ‘Cast’, the third track from the former’s debut album ‘Presido La Pluto’.
In November 2023, Shallipopi also disclosed how lucrative the music industry is and likened it to returns in ritual.
The ‘Elon Musk’ crooner shed light on how the abundance of music money has transformed his financial situation.
He also explained how he balances his finances and also gives back to his family.
“How do you find a balance between giving to family members, saving for yourself, and knowing when to draw the line?” the show host asked.
Responding to the question, Shallipopi expressed the profound profitability of the music industry, asserting that his financial resources seem inexhaustible despite generous contributions to family and friends.
“You will never understand music money. Music money is like a ritual, and there’s too much money in music that you cannot understand at all. Even if you’re an artist that came out in one month and your song is just big, no worry.
“Me now, I no dey balance anything; if my family request, I dey give because I know that, the music will not stop. Even if I stop singing, the music I’ve dropped will continue giving me money.”
Shallipopi gained recognition with the release of “Elon Musk” in 203. He signed to Dvpper Music Distribution, a Nigerian music record distribution founded by Damillola Akinwunmi.
