Reception and controversy

"Shu-Peru" received mixed reception from fans and critics. On Twitter, some listeners criticized the song for its simplistic lyrics, contrasting it with his earlier works "Sin City" and "Laye". [1] The phrase itself "shuperu" was originally popularized by Orezi in his 2014 song of the same name, which led to accusations of unoriginality and sparked debates about the creativity behind the song's title and lyrics. [2] On the contrary, listeners defended Kizz Daniel, pointing out that the song is meant to be fun and light-hearted, and that similar themes and simplicity are common in modern Afrobeats songs. [3]

Music video

The TG Omori-directed music video was released later the day of the song's release. [4]
