Fast-rising Nigerian singer and rapper Shallipopi has ignited a flurry of reactions on social media after unveiling his new girlfriend via his Snapchat page.
The Dvpper Music signee shared a video featuring himself and his new partner, engaging in conversation and sharing a passionate kiss at what seems to be a restaurant.
The revelation has sparked a wave of opinions among social media users, with reactions ranging from praise to criticism. While some have lauded Shallipopi for his new relationship, others have expressed disapproval for various reasons.
One Twitter user, Hellen Baylon, commented, “Just have money my gender I hail una,” indicating a belief that Shallipopi’s wealth might be a factor in his romantic pursuits.
Uncle Manuel added, “In life, just have money,” echoing similar sentiments about the role of wealth in relationships.
Criticism also emerged regarding Shallipopi’s choice of partner, with some users questioning why his girlfriends are often not Nigerian. Others remarked on the perceived age gap between Shallipopi and his new girlfriend, suggesting she appears older than him.
Sheddy FC remarked, “She looks older,” while The Re Mojii noted a trend among musicians favoring light-skinned partners.
However, some defended Shallipopi’s choice, pointing out that personal preferences vary, and celebrities often face scrutiny regardless of their decisions.
Months prior, Shallipopi had offered advice to men, emphasizing the importance of financial stability before pursuing relationships. His recent romantic endeavor has reignited discussions about his views on love and money.
In December 2023, Shallipopi made headlines when he complimented a woman in public, an act that garnered attention on social media. Despite the attention, the woman and her husband appeared unfazed, suggesting a lack of controversy from their perspective.
