Rapper Shallipopi is said to have parted ways with Dapper Music.
Recently, he took the label’s name out of his bio and unfollowed its founder on social media, leading to speculation about the split.
His actions seem to support the rumors, as the label helped him gain fame in 2023 with several hit singles.
Earlier this year, Shallipopi launched his label, Plutomania Records, with Zerry DL and Tega Boi as the main artists.
He recently parted ways with Dapper Music just a week after dropping his new single ‘Order’ featuring Olamide, which was a joint release with Plutomania Records and Dapper Music & Entertainment.
Although neither side has confirmed the news, Shallipopi’s situation resembles Seyi Vibez’s recent breakup with Dapper Music.
Shallipopi’s collaboration with Dapper Music has been very successful, helping the rapper from Benin achieve fame after launching his popular debut EP ‘Planet Pluto’ and his first LP ‘Presido La Pluto’ in 2023. His second album ‘Shakespopi’ was also released with Dapper Music, featuring the hit song ‘ASAP’.
Shallipopi’s departure will significantly impact Dapper Music, which has played a key role in promoting Nigerian street music. The CEO, Damilola Akinwunmi, was recognized as TurnTable Chart’s Executive of the Year for 2023.
According to a recent report by TurnTable Charts on the companies with the largest market share in Nigeria from Q1 to Q3 2024, Dapper Music ranked second with an impressive 7.97%, largely due to numerous releases from Shallipopi and Seyi Vibez.
