Emerging artist Shallipopi provides intriguing insights into the financial dynamics of the music industry, drawing parallels between the returns he experiences and the seemingly mysterious gains associated with ritual practices.
During a recent appearance on the Zero Conditions podcast, the singer, renowned for the hit single 'Elon Musk,' was probed on how he manages the delicate balance between catering to the financial needs of demanding family and friends while ensuring his personal financial stability.
The show's host posed the question, “How do you find a balance between giving to family members, saving for yourself and knowing when to draw the line?”
Shallipopi, in response, unraveled the mystique surrounding the financial aspects of the music industry, asserting that the returns are so abundant that his financial well-being remains impervious, regardless of the extent to which he shares his wealth with others.
He emphasized the financial windfall he has experienced particularly this year, attributing it to the success of his hit singles. “You will never understand music money. Music money is like ritual, there’s too much money in music that you cannot understand at all. Even if you’re an artiste that came out in one month and your song is just big, no worry. Me now, I no dey balance anything; if my family request, I dey give because I know that, the music will not stop. Even if I stop singing, the music I’ve dropped will continue giving me money,” Shallipopi declared.
To provide a visual element to this revelatory statement, a video snippet from the podcast was shared on Twitter, capturing the moment Shallipopi candidly discussed the extraordinary financial benefits he accrues from his music career.
