Fresh from the release of his acclaimed albumAURACLE, Nigerian phenomenon Shallipopi returns with brand new single ‘Allergies’. Listen HERE, watch the official video HERE.
‘Allergies’ sees Shallipopi in full form, with the Pluto Presido blending signature lyricism and sharp melodic sensibilities into another infectious anthem primed for clubs, playlists and viral moments alike.
Speaking about the track Shallipopi says: “I’m on a different level now and I’m protective of that. ‘Allergies’ is me saying some people, some vibes, I just can’t have around me. I’ve earned that. Pluto doesn’t accept everything.”
Following the huge success of AURACLE, which featured collaborations with Wizkid, Burna Boy, Gunna, Swae Lee, Pa Salieu and Rauw Alejandro, ‘Allergies’ arrives as Shallipopi continues an unstoppable global ascent. Having amassed more than 440 million streams over the last year alone, he has firmly cemented his status as one of Africa’s most exciting and disruptive new wave stars.
The release follows a landmark run for the Benin City-born artist, whose genre-defying sound has propelled him onto sold-out stages worldwide and earned widespread acclaim from tastemakers including Rolling Stone Africa, Dazed, Wonderland, Clash, GUAP and more. From breakout anthem ‘Elon Musk’ to chart-dominating hits including ‘Cast’ featuring Odumodublack and the global success of the ‘Laho’ series, Shallipopi has consistently pushed Afrobeats into bold new territory.
