    According to Pulse Nigeria, rapper Shallipopi emerged as Artist of the Year at the 2025 TikTok Sub-Saharan Africa Awards, a win that reflects how TikTok virality is increasingly shaping mainstream recognition.

    The awards spotlighted creators and artists across the region, with performances and fan-driven engagement reinforcing TikTok’s role as a launchpad for hits.

    The Guardian Life reported: “Shallipopi has been named Artist of the Year at the 2025 TikTok SSA Awards.”
