Nigerian street pop sensation Seyi Vibez has officially unveiled the highly anticipated music video for the remix of his hit single, 'Pressure,' which now features multi-platinum American rapper French Montana. The visual premiered on 29 December 2025, marking a significant cross-cultural moment in the Afrobeats scene.
A Cinematic Cross-Cultural Collaboration in New York
The stunning video was shot on location in New York City, providing a dynamic urban backdrop for this fusion of sounds. It was brought to life under the direction of Grammy-nominated filmmaker Carlos 'Spiff TV' Suarez, whose visual storytelling perfectly captures the song's intimate and powerful narrative. The collaboration bridges Seyi Vibez's distinctive African street pop with the global appeal of hip-hop, as French Montana adds a new dimension to the track's exploration of love and devotion.
'Pressure' is the fifth track from Seyi Vibez's acclaimed album 'FUJI MOTO'. The song, produced by legendary hitmakers Mally Mall and Roberto Diaz, leans heavily into melody and raw emotion, showcasing the artist's versatility. This release is a defining step in Seyi Vibez's ongoing mission to expand his international footprint while staying true to his roots.
Seyi Vibez's Quiet Streaming Domination in 2025
This high-profile feature caps off a remarkably dominant yet understated year for the artist. Since partnering with the global distribution company EMPIRE in January 2025, Seyi Vibez has solidified his position as one of Nigeria's most consistent streaming forces. His unique blend of street pop, Afro-fusion, and Yoruba cultural elements continues to attract global collaborations.
His streaming numbers tell a story of sheer dominance:
- He is the most-streamed African artist on Audiomack, with a staggering over 2.2 billion streams on the platform. He first claimed this title in 2023 and has since vastly extended his lead.
- On Spotify Nigeria in 2024, only Wizkid accumulated more streams than Seyi Vibez.
- He ranks fourth behind Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Asake on Apple Music Nigeria, placing him in the top four across three major streaming platforms.
Global Recognition Rooted in Nigerian Identity
Beyond the numbers, Seyi Vibez's influence reached new heights in 2025. He earned a spot on Barack Obama's 2025 annual music playlist through his contribution to Olamide's track '99'. This recognition came as a result of his impactful guest verses throughout the year.
Despite his soaring global ambitions, the artist maintains an unflinching pride in his Nigerian identity. While some artists alter their sound for international appeal, Seyi Vibez insists on defining the Yoruba heritage, street identity, and Afrobeats dynamism that are the core of his music. This authenticity, combined with strategic global collaborations like the 'Pressure' remix, is the engine behind his quiet but undeniable takeover of the music scene.
