Nigerian street-pop phenom Shallipopi has just set the world ablaze with his newest single, “HIM,” featuring American rapper Gunna. The 4-minute track pulses with confidence and cross-continental energy, fusing Afrobeats rhythms with trap swagger for a sound that’s both fresh and fearless.
Produced by a powerhouse team — Cole YoursTruly, Geno, Progrexx, and Budee — “HIM” captures the heat of late-night victories and unstoppable ambition. Shallipopi’s sharp, slang-filled flow from Benin City slides effortlessly into Gunna’s smooth Atlanta cadence. The result? A hypnotic mix of hazy synths, trap snares, and lyrical dominance that commands attention from the first beat.
Shallipopi delivers his verses, switching between Pidgin and English as he flexes his rise from the streets to the spotlight. Gunna steps in with his signature silky trap flow, adding a layer of international polish that bridges two thriving worlds.
This single follows Shallipopi’s hit “Na So”, proving his momentum shows no signs of slowing. With “HIM,” he’s not just making music; he’s making a statement.
As Afrobeats continues to collide with trap and hip-hop, collaborations like this one also highlights a new era of global sound fusion.
