An old interview of Nigerian musician Shallipopi, has resurfaced online, shedding light on his decision to join Dapper Music, a record label owned by Damilola Akinwunmi.
This was in an interview on Zero Conditions podcast with Melody Hassan and Motolani Alake, which has now gone viral. Shallipopi revealed that he was drawn to the label’s success with another artist, Seyi Vibez. According to Shallipopi, he was impressed by the label’s ability to propel Seyi Vibez to stardom and wanted to experience similar success.
Shallipopi stated that joining Dapper Music was not motivated by financial gain, but rather by a desire to be part of a thriving record label that could help him achieve his goals.
The resurfaced interview has sparked interest online, especially given Shallipopi’s recent departure from Dapper Music, alongside fellow artist Muyeez. The two musicians had cited a lack of trust, transparency, and exploitation as reasons for their exit from the label.
