Since the release of Shallipopi's ''Laho'' in February and the accomp-anying challenge on social media, which has further popularised the song among millennials and Gen Zs, Nollywood legends have also jumped on it by giving us the vibe that this may not be ending soon.
Few hours ago, the internet buzzed with a video posted on Instagram showing the likes of Femi Branch, Jide Kosoko, Dele Odule, and Taiwo Hassan a.k.a Ogogo, showing their fun side as they dropped a ''line'' each to the trending song. Their energetic display and surprise participation in the viral challenge have left fans in stitches, proving that age is no barrier to catching up with modern-day entertainment.
''Laho'' is a word in Edo language that translates to ''Please, don't let me fall''. Apparently the meaning has been elaborated to mean ''No fall my hand'' as it is often said among young people. To this end, Shallipopi goes on to caution anyone who might feel different, ''Domwan no make e noise wee evbana'' (Let no one make noise here, that's how we do it in Edo) "Eri ma ghya wvbe we Edo''.Shallipopi's journey in the music industry may be dated but by this infusion, he has become more endeared to people and has succeeded in popularising a part of the Edo culture.
