Nigerian singer Shallipopi collaborates with American rapper Gunna for a new single, “HIM.”
The track “HIM” is a fusion of confidence, blending the vibrant energy of Nigerian street pop with the polished swagger of Atlanta trap.
Shallipopi brings his signature energetic flow, delivering verses in a mix of Pidgin and English that reflect his rise and relentless hustle.
His lyrics are filled with local references and a charismatic charm that grounds the track in its Nigerian roots.
Gunna’s smooth and effortless trap cadence adds a layer of international polish, bridging sounds and scenes without missing a beat.
Lyrically, “HIM” is a powerful anthem of self-realisation, celebrating ownership of one’s power, journey, and place in the world.
Both Shallipopi and Gunna proclaim their dominance, not as newcomers, but as seasoned artists who’ve honed their craft to perfection.
The production by Cole YoursTruly, Progrexx, Budee, and Geno is seamless, blending Afrobeat rhythms with trap’s bold aesthetic.
In addition, the song “HIM” serves as a follow-up to Shallipopi’s recent song “Na So” and his feature on Mavo’s “Escaladizzy II.”
Quotable Lyrics:
I tell you baby, that’s why I’m him (Ehn?)
Many people don show me love ’cause I’m him (Confirm)
Long time, no see, tell me where you’ve been (Way)
I met the Lord, and you follow, I’m him
From the day that God made me, I swear, me, I’m him (Clear)
Why you keep looking? Don’t copy my drip (Ehn?)
See me in the club, on my Casa, I sip (Sip)
That’s why I’m him (Ehn?)
Ladies call me him (Way), that’s why I’m him (Confirm)
That’s why I’m him (Ehn?)
