Fast-rising Nigerian artist Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has become a trending topic on social media following his reaction to Burna Boy’s luxurious Ferrari, reportedly worth N1.8 billion.
In a viral video, Shallipopi was spotted hanging out with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and other celebrities when the high-end Ferrari arrived, embodying luxury and class. The young singer appeared awestruck as he came face-to-face with the exotic car.
A particularly striking moment in the video showed Shallipopi visibly emotional, burying his head as if overwhelmed by the sight of the opulent vehicle. Fans speculated that the “Obapluto” crooner might have been reflecting on his challenging journey, especially his recent struggles with his former record label, Dapper Music.
Shallipopi recently made headlines after publicly terminating his contract with Dapper Music, owned by Damilola Akinwunmi, citing dissatisfaction with the label’s financial management. This development added context to the emotional display, with many suggesting it could be tied to his reflections on his growth and hardships.
The encounter has sparked widespread discussions online, highlighting the stark contrast between Shallipopi’s journey and the luxurious lifestyle associated with artists like Burna Boy.
