SONG BACKGROUND

"Laho" is Shallipopi at his most playful and defiant, blending Edo language, Nigerian street slang, and global pop-culture nods. It’s a mix of local pride, party energy, and warnings to rivals not to mistake his laid-back confidence for weakness. Between tequila-fueled fun and flexes about his fame, the track captures the unpredictable swagger that has made him one of Benin City’s standout voices.
