How it all Started…
In the Nigerian street pop music scene, a heated rivalry has emerged between Seyi Vibez and Zinoleesky, as the two artists engage in a public exchange of insults.

In a video, Zinoleesky said,
“Just waking up, what’s happening? My people, should I scatter everywhere? Should I post this snippet? Let me post this snippet.”
Although Zinoleesky did not explicitly mention anyone’s name in the video, Seyi Vibez interpreted it as a veiled attack directed at him, given that he had just released his music snippet.

Additionally, Seyi Vibez boasted about his success as an independent artist, highlighting that he does not rely on a record label for his achievements in the music industry.
Seyi Vibez said,
“I didn’t say y’all shouldn’t drop Snippet, I’ve got a lot of songs, no competition. You can even drop for your Record Label. I’m independent” Seyi Vibez replied in a video response.

“Your number 1 songs got you an apartment!”
“That’s why you are angry!”

“If them dey talk about the artiste wey you sabi pass for this kabal, put my name aside label slave. Anybody wey wish me bad soon God go take the person happiness away“
