Nigerian music sensation, Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has narrated how his journey was from Benin City to Lagos to chase a career in music.
He disclosed how his friends refused to give him accommodation initially.
“Before my song ‘Elon Musk’ blew. I came to Lagos and I was looking for who to stay with. Then I started contacting some of my acquaintances in Lagos who have been flaunting their flamboyant lifestyle on WhatsApp statuses because some of them had told me before that they like my song, ‘Elon Musk.’ I contacted four people but they all said I couldn’t stay with them.
“I eventually found someone that said I should come stay with them. I deceived them that I was going to stay for just four days. After I stayed there for four days, I got a show in Port Harcourt just with my song ‘Elon Musk’ which wasn’t gaining much traction then. But the fee was N50,000 and the organisers paid for my flight. The people I was staying with insisted on going with me. It was my first flight.”
“There’s a lot of money in music, even an up-and-coming artist with just one hit song can make so much.” Shallipopi said during a recent interview with the Zero Conditions podcast.
