Rising star Shallipopi is set to captivate global audiences with the release of his Spotify RADAR Africa documentary, offering an intimate look at his journey from the streets of Edo State to chart-topping success. As one of Nigeria’s most compelling new artists, Shallipopi’s story is one of resilience and artistry, resonating across social divides.
The Spotify RADAR Africa documentary serves as Shallipopi’s global introduction, capturing the essence of his journey. It opens with Shallipopi returning to his hometown in Edo State, reflecting on his roots and the origins of his stage persona. Through candid conversations with his brother and collaborator, Zerry DL, viewers gain insight into Shallipopi’s early influences and creative aspirations.
Together, they reminisce about their first song and the dreams that shaped their path. The film also includes exclusive interviews with the CEO of Dvpper Music and one of Shallipopi’s key producers, unveiling the inner workings of his swift rise in the music industry.
Adding to the documentary’s depth, Shallipopi’s popular track “ASAP” from his project Shakespopi Vol. 1, released earlier in the year, soundtracks much of the RADAR documentary. The song’s powerful beats and lyrics underscore Shallipopi’s journey, grounding his narrative in the sound that first propelled him into the spotlight. The success of Shakespopi Vol. 1 has sparked high anticipation for Shallipopi’s follow-up project, which is already in the works.
In a powerful scene, Shallipopi revisits his former college, where he is met with an enthusiastic crowd of fans—a testament to his impact on Nigeria’s next generation. The documentary wraps up with a behind-the-scenes look at Shallipopi’s recent Wireless Festival performance, marking his transition from local sensation to a global artist on the rise.
Shallipopi’s story is not only a personal triumph but a powerful narrative that resonates with Nigeria’s largest demographic while bridging class divides.
