When it comes to Nigerian music stars, fans don’t just vibe to the beats — they also get curious about everything from their net worth to their height. Recently, a fun debate has been trending: Who is taller between Rema and Shallipopi?
Shallipopi’s Height
Shallipopi, the self-proclaimed Pluto Presido, is loved for his street-inspired bangers and unique lingo. While many fans assume he’s on the taller side, the truth is that Shallipopi stands at around 5 feet 6 inches (167 cm). Surprised? His charismatic stage presence and confident energy often make him seem much taller.
Rema’s Height
On the other hand, Rema, the Calm Down crooner who has taken Afrobeats global, stands at about 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm). That gives him a slight height edge over Shallipopi. Rema’s lean build and stylish fashion sense also add to the perception of height, making him look even taller on stage and in videos.
The Comparison
So, in the Rema vs. Shallipopi height battle:
- Shallipopi – 5’6’’
- Rema – 5’8’’
That’s about a 2-inch difference. It might not seem like much, but in side-by-side photos or stage appearances, it can be noticeable.
Why Do Fans Care About Celebrities’ Heights?
Height debates among fans are nothing new. Whether it’s musicians, actors, or athletes, people love comparing their favorite stars. For Nigerian artists, especially in the Afrobeats scene, image and presence matter just as much as the music. A taller frame can sometimes give an impression of dominance, while a shorter artist often stands out with charisma and energy.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, both Shallipopi and Rema are giants in their own right — not because of height, but because of their talent and global impact. Whether you vibe more with Shallipopi’s street hits or Rema’s international Afrobeats wave, one thing is clear: music is the real measure of greatness.
