Nigerian music star Shallipopi, born Crown Uzama, has responded to the growing buzz surrounding his recent weight loss, which left many fans speculating about his health.
The chatter began after new photos of the singer looking noticeably leaner circulated online, sparking concern and a flurry of questions on social media.
Addressing the issue in his signature humorous tone, Shallipopi took to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account to explain the transformation. According to him, the weight loss is entirely intentional — and for a stylish reason.
“Make una leave me make I slim jorr, I wan start modelling,” he tweeted.
With that brief but bold statement, the singer put rumors to rest, confirming that his slimmer look is part of a deliberate move toward breaking into the modelling industry — not a cause for concern.
