“So he no dey smoke” – Clip shows Rema running very fast after Shallipopi gives him Igbaux in the studio. Renowned Nigerian vocalist Rema sparks online chatter with his recent footage alongside Shallipopi, where he declines Igbaux (Igbo).
In the footage, Rema and Shallipopi are spotted in the studio, seemingly gearing up to release a collaborative track.
While it’s often assumed that Nigerian artists indulge in smoking, Rema, a native of Edo State, defies this stereotype.
In the clip, Rema and Shallipopi, both from Edo State, are seated together in the studio, engaged in conversation, setting the stage for what unfolds next.
Moments later, Shallipopi showcases camaraderie by offering Rema an Igbaux.
In response, Rema swiftly vacates his seat, nearly kicking Shallipopi in a gesture to emphasize his non-smoking stance.
Rema’s reaction to Igbaux prompts Shallipopi’s hearty laughter. Captioning the video, Shallipopi quips, “Benin boy dodging Igbo,” accompanied by laughter and broken-heart emojis.
