Seyi Vibez has triggered reactions on social media after posting a controversial message that appeared to be aimed at fellow singer, Adekunle Gold.
In a post shared via X on Friday, Seyi Vibez wrote, “Adekunle Gold you’re wack and your swag is wack. Old fool! Adekunle Panda.”
On Saturday, he intensified the exchange, writing on social media, “Nbo, baba Duduke, Iya Duduke like to dey nack small pikin (Duduke’s father, is it true that Duduke’s mother, referring to Gold’s wife, Simi, likes to sleep with children).”

In another post, he added, “If dem born Adekunle panda well, make e put leg! Allah.”
The series of posts immediately stirred online debate, with many users suggesting it may have been a reaction to a lyric from Adekunle Gold’s recently released deluxe album.
On the track Life Of The Faaji, Adekunle Gold sang, “They love my fuji, this no be Fuji Moto.”
Interestingly, Fujimoto was also the title of Seyi Vibez’s latest album.
While neither artist has publicly addressed the situation, the timing of Seyi Vibez’s comments has fueled speculation about a possible subtle rivalry between both singers, who are known for blending fuji-inspired elements with modern Afrobeats.
Meanwhile, Adekunle Gold appeared unbothered by the controversy as he recently spoke about his family background and royal lineage in an interview on Great Day Houston, a programme aired on KHOU 11 television in Houston, Texas.
Speaking during the interview published on YouTube on Thursday, the singer revealed that he is a descendant of King Kosoko, the 19th-century monarch remembered for resisting British colonial forces during their early incursion into Lagos.
“My progenitor used to be king of Lagos. His name is King Kosoko. He fought the British when they first came to Nigeria through Lagos to try to take our things, then he fought, went to exile, and came back, and then still won,” Adekunle Gold said.
The singer, whose real name is Adekunle Kosoko, has long been linked to the Kosoko royal family of Lagos Island, one of the prominent royal lineages in Isale Eko.
Historically, King Kosoko was a powerful Oba of Lagos who resisted British colonial influence in the 1850s, before going into exile and later returning to reassert his influence in Lagos politics.
