Regha tears into Shallipopi’s Auracle album
Regha shared a long review of Auracle on his page. He said Shallipopi is not a real artiste at all. The post matches his tone in a recent Daniel Regha story earlier this week.
Regha described the album as a painful listen with weak ideas. He said there was no growth, depth, or fresh sound. According to him, good beats alone cannot save every track.
In his view, each song gets worse than the last. He argued that four or five songs were enough for release. He said the rest only stretch a thin idea too far.
Regha still picked one track, Pull Up, as a bright point. He praised its flow and said guest rapper Pa Salieu lifted it. Even with that note, he scored the full album one.
Shallipopi fires back on social media
Shallipopi did not ignore the harsh writeup from Regha. He posted a short reply on X from his handle. He wrote, “You know nothing about music,” and tagged Regha.
The note also included the slang SYBAU, aimed at critics. Fans read it as a sharp clapback to the review. Some praised his confidence, saying street music needs bold defence.
Others felt the singer should take harder feedback in stride. They said calm talks help artists grow past early buzz. The thread soon turned into a full debate under his post.
Many users compared Regha’s style with his past clashes with stars. He has challenged singers before, from Tiwa Savage to actors. ValidUpdates also tracked his Daddy Freeze live warning earlier this week.
Debate grows over harsh album reviews
The clash again raises old questions about music taste and gatekeeping. Some fans like strict reviews and very tight scoring lines. Others feel street hits should breathe outside strict critic boxes.
Fans say Shallipopi focuses on bounce, slang, and fun energy. For them, his tracks reflect parties, bus rides, and daily jokes. They argue that not every album must aim for deep messages.
Regha’s fans counter that clear lyrics still matter in pop. They say hits can bounce and still carry sharp writing. To them, honest reviews push artists beyond easy repeat formulas.
Auracle now sits under a bright spotlight from both camps. Some fans stream it out of interest after the fight. Others say the one over ten score feels too harsh.
Beyond the numbers, the dispute shows how fast online talk spreads. One strong tweet from a critic can shape first reactions. A clapback from an artist then fuels new rounds of debate.
Similar score fights have played out around global streaming charts this week. Drake’s Apple Music crown also drew mixed views in a recent story. Together, these chats show how ratings now drive wider music talk.
For now, Shallipopi seems ready to live with the noise. He has his fans, his streams, and his growing stage shows. Regha still keeps his brand as a blunt online reviewer.
