Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez has publicly called out Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold following the release of Gold’s latest record, Fuji Xtra, which fans and observers believe contains a veiled reference directed at him.
Taking to social media, Seyi Vibez addressed the perceived dig head-on, accusing Adekunle Gold of having “wack swag,” a claim that quickly caught fire online and reignited debate over the two artists’ standing in the Nigerian music scene.
The remark drew swift reactions across social media platforms, with fans wading into the conversation to weigh in on everything from the alleged subliminal to the broader question of who between the two artists carries the stronger sense of style and artistic identity.
Adekunle Gold has yet to issue a public response to Seyi Vibez’s comments.
The exchange is the latest flashpoint in Nigeria’s increasingly competitive music industry, where artists frequently find themselves in public disputes, whether over creative direction, commercial dominance, or, as in this case, personal style. While it remains unclear whether Fuji Xtra was explicitly aimed at Seyi Vibez, the perception alone has been enough to set off a wave of commentary and debate among Nigerian music fans.
Whether the back-and-forth escalates into a full-blown rivalry or fizzles out remains to be seen. For now, both camps have the internet’s attention.
The timing of the clash has added further intrigue. Just as both artists did in 2025 releasing competing projects within four weeks of each other, history appears to be repeating itself. Adekunle Gold recently dropped an expanded version of his album Fuji, bolstered by five new tracks, and Seyi Vibez has since announced a new album, Swaguu, set for release just one week later.
Whether by design or coincidence, the overlapping release schedules have only sharpened the sense of rivalry between the two camps — and given fans even more reason to keep score.
