The release of “LAHO II” comes after the duo shared a historic moment on stage at Burna Boy’s sold-out show at the Stade de France, where they performed the song live for the first time. The collaboration received massive applause, and Burna’s verse, though subtle, has been praised for its calm brilliance and lyrical depth.
Shallipopi, known for his gritty sound and street-rooted lyricism, continues to grow his influence after his surprise exit from Dapper records, a move that shook fans and industry insiders alike. Since then, he has launched his own record label, “Plutomania Records,” and has been steadily releasing music that connects with Nigeria’s street culture.
Tracks like “Obapluto” and “Laho” have enjoyed massive streaming numbers, while his bold style and controversial lyrics have kept him in the spotlight for both praise and critique.
