Afrobeats’ favorite disruptor Shallipopi has confirmed his new album, titled AURACLE, with a simple but loud move. On September 1, 2025, he updated all his social media bios with the word “AURACLE” in all caps, sending his fanbase into a frenzy of theories and excitement.

The announcement comes on the back of a hot streak that includes Presido La Pluto in 2023 and Shakespopi in 2024. Both projects cemented Shallipopi as one of Afrobeats’ most playful yet unpredictable voices, capable of turning slang, satire, and swagger into viral anthems. His trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric, transforming him from a local cult favorite into a continental hitmaker with global ambitions.

Right now, details on AURACLE remain scarce. No tracklist has been revealed, no release date has been confirmed, and no guest features have been teased. What fans do have is a title and a blank canvas, which has proven more than enough to ignite social media into full-scale speculation. From possible cross-continental collaborations to whether he will experiment with new genres, the conversation is in overdrive.

Shallipopi understands how to control a narrative. By offering only a word and leaving the rest to fan imagination, he has created anticipation that feels electric. AURACLE already looks set to be one of Afrobeats’ defining drops of 2025.
