Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez has removed his social media posts about record-breaking celebrity chef Hilda Baci after her legal team sent a formal demand letter threatening legal action. The posts, published on August 14, 2026, sparked widespread backlash and led to swift legal pressure from top Lagos law firm Olaniwun Ajayi LP.
Details of the Defamatory Posts
Seyi Vibez, whose full name is Afolabi Oluwaseyi Balogun, posted two messages on August 14, 2026, that targeted Hilda Baci. In the first post, he wrote: "Na Hilda Baci BBL all una catalogue money dey go All of una Dey craze and una mama." He followed up with a second post making claims about Hilda's food. The posts were made in reaction to an industry row involving his former music label boss, Dapper.
Legal Demand Letter and Violations Cited
On August 15, 2026, Olaniwun Ajayi LP sent a formal demand letter to Seyi Vibez on behalf of their client, Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci. The letter cited defamation, malicious content, and potential violations under Nigeria's Cybercrimes Act. The firm demanded an immediate takedown of the posts, a public apology and retraction across all of Seyi Vibez's social media platforms, and a call on his followers to stop any harassment directed at Hilda Baci. The letter gave him a written undertaking deadline of three days, warning that failure to comply would result in legal enforcement action without further notice.
Seyi Vibez's Response and Public Reaction
Seyi Vibez seemingly acknowledged receiving the letter and took down the posts. When news of the demand letter and the deletions circulated online on Thursday, August 20, 2026, Nigerians had plenty to say on Instagram.
