Shallipopi Taps Wizkid for New Single “Like That (Bomboclatt)”
Shallipopi has released a new single titled Like That (Bomboclatt), and he isn’t rolling it out alone. The Nigerian star has pulled in Wizkid for the record, putting one of the scene’s fastest-rising names side by side with one of its most decorated. For an Afrobeats single in any given week, that billing alone puts it near the top of the conversation.
The pairing is notable because the two operate from different ends of the same movement. Shallipopi built his run on street-facing records and a delivery that made him one of the most quoted artists in Nigerian pop culture, while Wizkid has spent over a decade as a global ambassador for the genre, with a catalogue that stretches from Lagos to international arenas. Getting both names on one tracklist line is the kind of link-up fans speculate about long before it actually happens.
A Statement Collaboration in a Crowded Year
For Shallipopi, landing a Wizkid feature is a clear marker of where his stock sits right now. Features of this scale are usually reserved for artists the establishment has already accepted, and this one signals that his run has moved past breakout status into something more permanent. For Wizkid, lending a verse to a newer artist keeps him plugged into the street-pop wave that has reshaped Nigerian music over the last few years.
No album or project has been attached to the single at this stage, and no producer has been announced, so for now it stands on its own as a standalone drop. That leaves the door open for it to serve as either a one-off event record or the first look at a bigger body of work, and fans of both camps will be watching for what follows.
Expect this one to circulate quickly through Afrobeats playlists, weekend party rotations, and the club circuits in Lagos and beyond, where a Shallipopi and Wizkid credit is built for instant pickup. Listeners who follow either artist closely, plus anyone tracking the biggest Nigerian collaborations of the year, will want to hear how the two trade space on a record together.
