Nigerian rising star Shallipopi, born Crown Uzama, has joined forces with Grammy-winning Afro-fusion icon Burna Boy for the highly anticipated remix of his hit track “Laho.” Released on April 25, 2025, under Since 93 with an exclusive license from Plutomania Records Ltd, “Laho II” is a two-minute powerhouse that showcases the dynamic synergy between the two artists. Shallipopi flexes his Afrobeats mastery with razor-sharp bars and infectious rhythms, while Burna Boy elevates the track with his signature voice and undeniable charisma, creating a remix that is both fresh and captivating.
Produced by the talented Progrex, “Laho II” is rooted in Shallipopi’s streetwise swagger and knack for crafting catchy melodies. The track’s lyrics, including lines like “Desperado, many many / My amigo, Balotelli / Ladies taking me photo (Confirm),” reflect Shallipopi’s confident and playful style, while Burna Boy’s verse adds depth and a global appeal that bridges cultures. The remix builds on the success of the original “Laho,” which marked Shallipopi’s first official single under his independent label Plutomania Records after parting ways with Dapper Music in 2023.
Shallipopi, who rose to fame with his breakout single “Elon Musk” in March 2023, has continued to make waves in the Nigerian music scene. In October 2023, he launched his own record label, Plutomania Records, signing promising talents like Tega Boi and Zerrydl. Meanwhile, Burna Boy, born Damini Ogulu, has solidified his status as a global music icon with numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 2021 for “Twice As Tall.”

[Interlude: Shallipopi]
It’s not the way you’re seeing me here and because of the way you’re talking to me here
You think if you’ll see me in the street of Upper or you’ll see me in the street of Sapele road
Or you see me in Ugbighoko
Or you see me in Third Junction
You can talk to me like this?
Iye avba owuye wawu
Iye wano
And so, ayy
[Verse 3: Shallipopi]

[Chorus]
Ghẹ gunmwẹn dẹ ọ, lahọ
