Supporters of Adekunle Gold and Seyi Vibez have engaged in heated debates online following controversy over a lyric in Adekunle Gold’s newly released song, Life of the Faaji.
The controversy began after Adekunle Gold sang, “They love my Fuji, this no be Fuji Moto,” a statement many listeners interpreted as a subtle dig at Seyi Vibez and his 2025 Fuji-inspired project, Fuji Moto.
Although the singer did not directly mention Seyi Vibez in the track, the lyric quickly generated conversations across social media platforms, especially because both artistes have recently embraced Fuji-inspired sounds in their music.
The situation intensified after Seyi Vibez reacted on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a series of posts directed at Adekunle Gold.
“You are wack. Adekunle Gold you’re wack. And your swag is wack. Old fool!” the singer wrote.
In another post, he added, “Adekunle panda Egbon ofo! Egbon ya.”
The exchange triggered mixed reactions online, as fans of both musicians defended their favourites and debated whether the lyric was intended as a diss.
Reacting to the controversy, X user @YoungGeeOD defended Adekunle Gold, writing, “let’s be realistic here bro….this is not even diss to anyone, adekunle was trying to rhyme the flow… seyi doesn’t understand music btw.”
Another user, @seunsmit_, also rejected claims that the lyric targeted Seyi Vibez.
“I honestly don’t get where all the hate on Adekunle Gold is coming from…cuz how is this a diss??? Fuji Moto is a Japanese word fgs!” the user posted.
Supporting Adekunle Gold’s position, @lordwarice wrote, “If we want to be honest, we can see how bitter Seyi Vibez is as a person, ‘Fuji moto’ is literally a Japanese word which you named your album but is not directly associated to you but yet you decided to directly insult Adekunle Gold for clout.”
However, some fans insisted that Seyi Vibez was justified in responding to what they considered disrespect.
@tweetishola1 wrote, “This is diss and disrespectful to Seyi vibez! But Adekunle panda fans chooses to think otherwise! I love how Loseyi responded! AG can do better! Discrediting someone’s project to float yours is wack!”
Another X user, @soladaloris, argued that backlash against Adekunle Gold was expected.
“Adekunle Gold went to find trouble, trouble came out now he’s claiming victim. You put this as your first song bro. You can’t tell me you didn’t know Seyi Vibez had an entire album titled Fuji Moto,” the user wrote.
Similarly, @MrManUnitedd posted, “You can’t tell a man how to respond to disrespect. If you like come with stick, if I decide to bring a gun it’s none of your business. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.”
In October 2025, Adekunle Gold released Fuji Xtra, a project that combined traditional Yoruba Fuji rhythms with Afrobeats and pop influences. Weeks later, Seyi Vibez unveiled Fuji Moto, which drew heavily from Fuji, street pop and hip-hop sounds.
Speaking previously about his connection to Fuji music, Seyi Vibez explained that the genre played a major role in shaping his upbringing and musical style.
“My earliest experience with Fuji music came from growing up around it at parties, on the streets, and in family gatherings,” he said.
“Fuji always spoke about real life, joy, struggle, and prayer. That honesty is what still draws me to the genre today because it feels like home.”
