Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez has taken to social media to attack Adekunle Gold over what appears to be a veiled diss aimed at him on the superstar's newly released 'Fuji Xtra' album. The outburst has ignited a fresh controversy in the Nigerian music scene, drawing reactions from fans and observers alike.
The Origin of the Beef
Trouble started when Adekunle Gold dropped a line on the track 'Life of the Faaji,' which many interpreted as a direct jab at Seyi Vibez's last project 'Fuji Moto.' In the song, Adekunle Gold sings: “They love my fuji, this no be Fuji Moto,” a phrase that was quickly perceived as wordplay shading the street pop sensation's work. The line stirred immediate reactions online, with listeners debating its intent.
Seyi Vibez's Response
Hours after the track's release, Seyi Vibez responded via the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), unleashing a barrage of insults. He described Adekunle Gold as a “wack” singer and criticized his style. “Adekunle Gold, you’re wack. And your swag is wack. Old foo!!” he wrote. In another post, he added, “If dem born Adekunle panda Papa well Make e put leg! Allah,” further escalating the feud.
Social Media Reactions
The exchange has divided fans, with some supporting Seyi Vibez's boldness while others criticized his approach. The beef highlights the competitive nature of the Nigerian music industry, where artists frequently engage in contests of creative and commercial superiority. Adekunle Gold has yet to respond publicly to the insults.
Context of the Projects
In October 2025, Adekunle Gold released 'Fuji,' an album that blended Fuji identity with Afrobeats and pop influences. The critically acclaimed project featured the smash hit 'Many People,' with Yinka Ayefele and Adewale Ayuba. A month later, Seyi Vibez expanded his EP 'Children of Africa' into the 'Fuji Moto' album, a title inspired by a friend's random hype rather than any deeper meaning. Both albums brought massive attention to Fuji music, sparking debates about their authenticity.
Upcoming Releases
Similar to 2025, when both stars released projects four weeks apart, Seyi Vibez has announced a new album titled 'Swaguu,' set to drop a week after Adekunle Gold shared the expanded version of his album 'Fuji,' now featuring five new tracks. This timing adds fuel to the ongoing rivalry, as fans eagerly await both releases.
The feud represents another chapter in the modern history of Fuji music, where stars across generations have duelled for supremacy. Whether Adekunle Gold intended the line as a dig remains unclear, but the incident has undoubtedly captured the attention of the Nigerian music industry.
