Shakespopi (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by Nigerian singer Shallipopi. It was released through Plutomania Records and Dapper Music & Ent on April 11, 2024.[1] It serves as the follow-up to his previous album, Presido La Pluto (2023).
Shallipopi first announced the album in late March 2024.[2] On April 10, 2024, he posted a promotional video on Instagram,[3] confirming the album's release.[4] The next day, April 11, the album was officially released via his label, Plutomania Records.[5] [6]
Shakespopi received mixed reviews. According to Adeayo Adebiyo of Pulse Nigeria, the album features some of Shallipopi's weakest hooks and overly short songs, with rhymes that are "comically juvenile" and excessive use of street language. In contrast, Wale Oloworekende of The NATIVE wrote that Shakespopi is a successful "heat check" with an audience eager for more, praising the album's promotion of Benin culture and street language in its lyrics.
Shakespopi debuted at number one on the Nigeria Apple Music chart in its first week, becoming Shallipopi's highest-charting album at the time.[7] Additionally, it outsold other notable releases that week, including Portable's "Tony Montana", which featured rapper Skepta.[8] Furthermore, the album's lead single, "ASAP", debuted at number one on the Nigeria Apple Music Top 100 chart.[9]
