Shakespopi: Shallipopi Surprises Fans With New Album | Fab.ng

Nigerian rap sensation Shallipopi is exciting his fans with a double dose of birthday cheer! April 12th, 2024, is about to become a major day for Shallipopi and his supporters. This is a day he’s declared “Pluto Day” for reasons that will soon become clear. On this special date, Shallipopi isn’t just dropping one gift for his fans; he’s dropping two. The first is a brand-new single titled “Shakespopi.”

The title hints at a playful connection to the legendary playwright William Shakespeare. Shallipopi has a history of weaving philosophical themes into his music. With a title like “Shakespopi,” it seems he might be continuing this trend. Perhaps the song’s lyrics explore ideas so profoundly that they’d impress even the bard himself. Shallipopi has previously referred to himself as the “foremost philosopher of his generation.” This alluded to his philosophical musings in his track “Oscroh (Pepperline).”

We feast on the 12th of April ❤️🥾 pic.twitter.com/qOm9NH23Th

An even bigger surprise for fans

But “Shakespopi” is just the opening act for Shallipopi’s birthday extravaganza. The even bigger surprise for his fans is the release of his sophomore album, also scheduled to drop on April 12th. This exciting news comes a mere six months after the release of his debut album, “Presido La Pluto.” This album solidified Shallipopi’s place in the Nigerian music scene.

The upcoming single and album mark Shallipopi’s first releases of 2024 and set the stage for a busy year ahead. Hot on the heels of these releases, Shallipopi will be embarking on a historic joint tour with fellow rapper Odumodublvck.

It’s a whirlwind of activity for Shallipopi. With a new album, a hot single, and a major tour on the horizon, it’s clear he’s determined to make his birthday an unforgettable celebration for himself and his fans. One thing’s for sure: April 12th, or “Pluto Day,” as Shallipopi has declared it, is sure to be a landmark date for the rapper and his ever-growing fanbase.

Kese (Dance) amassed 1.5 million streams on its first day. It surpassed the previous record held by Piece of My Heart, which garnered 1.016 million streams on its opening day. These achievements highlight Wizkid’s enduring popularity and dominance in the African music scene.

In addition to these milestones, Wizkid set a new record for the highest number of opening-day streams for an African artist on Spotify. This achievement reaffirms his status as one of the continent’s most influential and commercially successful musicians.

With Kese (Dance) from “Morayo” breaking records, Wizkid now holds the top four spots on the list of the biggest first-day streams on Spotify Nigeria.

This unprecedented accomplishment underscores his consistent ability to capture audiences and generate massive streaming numbers with each release.

Fans and industry insiders alike expect Wizkid’s latest album to continue this record-breaking trend. Morayo not only showcases his musical versatility and knack for collaborations but also solidifies his position as a global ambassador for African music.

Wizkid’s ‘Kese (Dance)’ Reclaims Top Spot on Apple Music Nigeria

Wizkid’s latest single, ‘Kese (Dance)‘ dramatically returned to the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 chart. The song temporarily disappeared on November 18, 2024, sparking widespread speculation among fans and music enthusiasts.

Fab.ng first reported the unexpected chart removal. Despite vanishing from the Nigerian chart, ‘Dance’ maintained its position on global Top 100 lists. Remarkably, it remained the sole Nigerian and African track on international charts.

Apple Music’s chart management protocols suggest potential reasons for the temporary removal. The platform commonly investigates potential streaming manipulation. When suspicious activity emerges, they remove and then reinstate tracks after verifying stream authenticity.

Fans and industry watchers developed multiple theories. Some believed the removal resulted from technical complications. Others suspected a deeper investigation into streaming patterns. The exact mechanism remained unclear.

Within hours, ‘Kese (Dance)’ returned to its top chart position. The song demonstrated sufficient streaming strength to reclaim its previous standing. Wizkid’s continued musical dominance remained unquestionable.

The incident generated additional excitement around Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo.’ Scheduled for release on November 22, 2024, the album generates significant anticipation. Wizkid strategically shared the official tracklist, further fueling fan enthusiasm.

Music industry observers noted the incident’s potential marketing impact. The temporary chart removal inadvertently increased visibility for both the single and the upcoming album. Wizkid’s strategic music release continues to capture the audience’s attention.

The event underscores the complex dynamics of digital music platforms. Streaming charts represent more than simple popularity metrics. They reflect intricate algorithmic and investigative processes.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his significant influence in Nigerian and global music scenes. ‘Kese (Dance)’ represents another milestone in his remarkable musical journey.

Fans remain eager to experience the full ‘Morayo’ album, anticipating another potential chart-topping release from the superstar artist.
