This announcement follows a busy 2024, during which Shallipopi toured the U.S. alongside Odumodublvck and continued to build momentum with his debut album Shakespopi.

Since his 2023 breakout with the viral hit “Elon Musk,” Shallipopi has become a Gen Z favorite, thanks to his catchy street-influenced sound and his knack for turning social media trends into cultural moments. His latest hits, “ASAP” and “High Tension,” have cemented him as more than a one-hit wonder, with Shakespopi drawing both streaming numbers and packed concert crowds.

Afrobeats has had a banner year globally, and Shallipopi’s tour positions him among the wave of Nigerian artists who are filling venues across North America. With the genre booming, and Canada emerging as a key market for African music, the tour comes at the perfect time for Shallipopi to push his international presence even further.
