Shallipopi debunks claim he spent N9m on streaming farm

Published

Crown Uzama, the Nigerian singer better known as Shallipopi, has denied a claim that he spent N9 million on streaming farms.

Streaming farms are a network of devices, such as smartphones or computers. Their main goal is to play a specific song or piece of music to create the appearance of a large number of online listeners.

In a recent viral video, Ebaide, a fast-rising singer, alleged that she paid N700,000 to Teepsoul Entertainment for a three-week music video promotion on YouTube.

She said despite pulling down “nude” content from the video as required, the promoters still did not give her content “enough” visibility.

The travel vlogger also alleged that she paid the money after she was told the company boost Shallipopi’s songs on Apple Music charts.

“But when she said this about the promotion they did for Shallipopi, that was when I was truly convinced to go with them,” Ebaide said.

“Let me play it for you. ‘When we promoted Shallipopi. Shallipopi had this energy that set him apart from every other person who comes to us. It’s like ‘Baba, how far, how this % million go go, he puts 5million into his strategy, and then he gets what he gets, and says, ‘Ah, Baba, I want more, I want more.” At that time, we are even the one telling.

“That calm down now. You just spent N9 million. Calm down, let’s just chill on everything. He’s like, no, no what are you saying. He always says he will make the money 20 times in a day, guaranteed if he blows if he could make it to Apple Music’s top 100. Truly, he got there.”

Reacting to the claim via X, Shallipopi said the user is “seeking attention”.

He also said he would rather spend the money on enjoyment with his crew.

“Fake!! Y’all looking for attention with the wrong content and think it’s right? 9m wey i go take chill make I leave Plutomanias to Dey stream!! Anyways,, your karma is coming,” he wrote.

In a recent post on his Instastory, the Grammy winner expressed frustration at being criticised for reacting to issues, while his attackers go unchecked.

Burna Boy implied that his critics should consider themselves lucky, saying, “I have too much to lose now”.

The hitmaker also warned his critics not to mistake his silence for weakness.

“When they talk nobody cares, but when I react it’s a Nuclear disaster,” he wrote. “Y’all don’t know how lucky you are that I have too much to lose now, Walahi a lot of you would not be here no more. Anyway make I just go buy another thing to relax.

“Bundle by bundle! No sign of weakness!”

Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.

Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.

He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.

He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.

“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.

“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”

Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
