On Tuesday, the Benin-born artist, real name Crown Uzama, shared a photo of himself in the studio on X (formerly Twitter) — casually eating a plate of jollof rice. The caption simply read:

“New music Friday jorrrrrrrr”

Within minutes, fans — known as the Plutomaniacs — flooded the comments, speculating about the sound, theme, or possible collaborations.

Some even joked that the “jollof rice vibe” might influence the next track’s rhythm or lyrics.

Since bursting onto the scene with the viral “Elon Musk” in 2023, Shallipopi has consistently kept ears tuned and charts busy.

His projects:

• “Presido La Pluto”
• “Shakespopi”

…both reached top spots on streaming platforms, while his single “ASAP” topped the TurnTable Top 100.

Earlier in 2025, Shallipopi dropped “Laho”, followed by “Laho II”, a remix featuring Burna Boy.

The remix earned him further street and streaming credibility, blending energetic flows with star-studded flair.

The 24-year-old first gained attention with TikTok freestyles, gradually building a cult following that turned into a national fanbase.

Now, with each cryptic post, Shallipopi commands massive anticipation — a mark of his rising influence in Afrobeats.

While there are no official details yet, Friday’s tease could mean:

•  A surprise single drop
•  A collaboration reveal
• Or a teaser from an upcoming EP or deluxe album
