Shallipopi, Famous Pluto & Zerry DL Visit Oba of Benin’s Palace
Shallipopi, alongside Famous Pluto and Zerry DL, paid a respectful home visit to the Oba of Benin’s Palace in Edo State, creating a powerful moment that blended music, culture, and tradition.
During the visit, Shallipopi performed his hit track Laho, delivering it in the presence of royalty—an act that highlighted both cultural respect and the growing influence of contemporary Nigerian music within traditional spaces.
The visit itself carried symbolic weight. Coming from Edo State, the artists’ presence at the palace reflects a connection to their roots and a recognition of the importance of honoring heritage and leadership.
Performing Laho in such a revered setting adds a new layer of meaning to the song, turning it from just a street anthem into a cultural expression presented before one of Nigeria’s most respected traditional institutions.
