Iconiq Fest 2025 ended on a high note with Plutomania Live in Concert.

The Uzama brothers put on a show that had fans buzzing, proving their rising influence in Nigeria’s street-pop scene and making Lagos the place to be this Detty December.

The trio are a well-known trio from Benin City, Nigeria, who have made a strong impact on the Afrobeats and Street Pop music scene in the last two years.

Often compared to the American hip-hop group Migos, they are recognised for their raw lyrics, energetic performances, and strong connection to street culture.

Shallipopi, also known as Crown Uzama, is the eldest and the leader of the group. He gained major success with his hit song “Elon Musk” and went on to found Plutomania Records, which supports the creative growth of his brothers.

Zerrydl, the middle brother, built his reputation through several singles and projects released under Plutomania Records. The youngest brother, Famous Pluto, made a strong entrance into the music scene with his single “Na Scra” and his debut EP Uzama the 3rd.

In 2025, the brothers collaborated for the first time on the song “Ewo,” featured on Famous Pluto’s EP. The track went viral and topped Nigerian music charts.

Before their music careers, the brothers were also known for creating comedy skits together.
