Shakespopi

Shakespopi (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by Nigerian singer Shallipopi. It was released through Plutomania Records and Dvpper Music on April 11, 2024. It serves as the follow-up to his previous album, Presido La Pluto (2023).

Background and release
Five months after the release of his debut studio album Presido La Pluto, Shallipopi announced his next project: his forthcoming studio album, Shakespopi. On April 10, 2024, he posted a promotional video on Instagram, and the album was released the following day, April 11, 2024.

Reception
Shakespopi received mixed reviews. According to Adeayo Adebiyo of Pulse Nigeria, the album features some of Shallipopi's weakest hooks and overly short songs, with rhymes that are "comically juvenile" and excessive use of street language. In contrast, Wale Oloworekende of The NATIVE wrote that Shakespopi is a successful "heat check" with an audience eager for more, praising the album's promotion of Benin culture and street language in its lyrics.

Commercial performance
Shakespopi debuted at number one on the Nigeria Apple Music chart in its first week, becoming Shallipopi's highest-charting album at the time. Additionally, it outsold other notable releases that week, including Portable's "Tony Montana", which featured rapper Skepta. Furthermore, the album's lead single, "ASAP", debuted at number one on the Nigeria Apple Music Top 100 chart.
