Nigerian artiste, Shallipopi has revealed how his numerous attempts to connect with prominent and established artistes were all ignored prior to his fame.
In an interview with Naija FM, Shallipopi said he often sent direct messages to established artistes he felt could help him rise in his career but his messages went unanswered, a reality he believes many upcoming artistes experience.
Shallipopi noted he never took it personal, admitting that these artistes were busy and unaware of who he was back then. "They don't know you," he explained. "It's not personal - they have their own lives and work.
If you're unknown, it's natural they won't answer.
