Shallipopi Opens Up About Nigeria's Music Scene After Rema’s Concert

In a recent interview with News Central following Rema's concert in Benin, Nigerian artist Shallipopi addressed the issue of music pricing. “There’s nobody that overcharges, don’t let these people whine you,” Shallipopi asserted, challenging the perception that Nigerian artists overcharge for their work.

The artist further emphasized his point by saying, “If your music has gotten the same streams as an American artiste, you should charge the way they charge.” His statement underscores the value he places on the success and reach of his music, suggesting that artists should be compensated in line with their international counterparts when they achieve similar levels of popularity.

Shallipopi’s remarks have sparked discussion about the fairness of music pricing and the need for artists to be valued according to their global success.
