‘You’re wack artist with wack swag’ – Seyi Vibez blasts Adekunle Gold

] Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez has hit hard at his colleague, Adekunle Gold, criticising his music and fashion style. Vibez described Gold as a mediocre artiste with mediocre swag. “Adekunle Gold, you’re wack, and your swag is wack. Old fool!” he wrote via his X handle on Friday, to the shock of many. The cause of the outburst is yet to be ascertained. However, some fans are speculating that it could be due to Adekunle Gold’s claim that his “fuji” is more loved than ‘Fuji Moto,’ the title of one of Seyi Vibez’s hit songs, in his new song, ‘Life Of The Faaji.’ “They love my fuji / This one no be fuji moto,” he sings. Meanwhile, Adekunle Gold is yet to respond to Seyi Vibez’s call-out.
