Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has opened up on some of the challenges he faced before gaining fame.

On the popular microblogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), Shallipopi stated that in the course of struggling for his career between 2023 and 2024, he got sidelined and ignored by several artistes.
