Shallipopi – Laho II (Remix) (ft. Burna Boy)

Shallipopi Taps Burna Boy for Laho II (Remix)

Shallipopi has released Laho II (Remix), a new Afrobeats single that brings Burna Boy onto the record. It is the kind of collaboration that gets group chats moving the moment the tracklist credit appears: one of Nigeria’s most talked-about newer voices sharing a song with one of the biggest names African music has ever produced.

The remix format matters here. Revisiting a track and adding a heavyweight guest is a deliberate move, one that signals the original connected enough to warrant a second push. Rather than letting the record run its course, Shallipopi is extending its life and widening its audience in one stroke.

Two Generations of Nigerian Star Power on One Record

Shallipopi has built his run on a distinct street-facing lane within Afrobeats, turning out records that travel fast through Nigerian youth culture and social media before crossing into wider rotation. Burna Boy, meanwhile, operates at the global end of the spectrum, with a catalogue that has carried Afrobeats onto some of the world’s biggest stages. Putting those two positions on the same single is a statement about where Shallipopi sees his ceiling, and a nod from Burna Boy toward the newer wave shaping the genre’s street pulse.

For Shallipopi, a Burna Boy feature is a milestone regardless of what else happens this year. Co-signs of this scale change how playlists, DJs, and international listeners treat an artist’s next moves. For Burna Boy, it is another example of his willingness to step onto younger artists’ records rather than only pulling collaborators into his own orbit.

Expect this one to be checked for by fans of both camps: the day-one Shallipopi listeners who ran up the original, and Burna Boy’s global base curious to hear him in this setting. It is built for Afrobeats party playlists, weekend link-ups, and the DJ sets where a familiar record with a fresh verse always lands harder than a cold open.

However the remix performs commercially, the pairing itself is the headline, and it puts Shallipopi’s name in a bigger conversation as the year unfolds.
