Nigerian singer Balogun Olamilekan Oluwaseyi, popularly known as Seyi Vibez, has ignited fresh controversy after making a series of explosive allegations against music executive Dapper Music, claiming he played a significant role in building the executive’s business and accusing the label of mishandling artistes’ earnings.
The Afrobeats star made the claims in multiple posts shared on X (formerly Twitter), where he reacted to ongoing discussions surrounding Dapper Music and artistes who have been associated with the company.
Among his most controversial remarks was an allegation involving celebrity chef Hilda Baci, whom he referenced while claiming that money generated from artistes’ music catalogues was being spent on her alleged Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Seyi Vibez also made claims about a past experience involving food he said was provided through Dapper Music, alleging that it left him seriously ill.
The posts have generated widespread reactions across social media, with fans and entertainment observers debating the singer’s accusations and the broader issues they raised about relationships between artistes and music executives.
As of the time of reporting, Dapper Music and Hilda Baci had not publicly responded to the allegations.
Singer says he helped build Dapper Music
One of the strongest claims made by Seyi Vibez centred on his former relationship with the music executive.
The singer alleged that his own success contributed significantly to Dapper Music’s growth, arguing that he played a major role in helping establish the executive’s business.
According to him, the financial success generated during their professional relationship became the foundation upon which other artistes were later signed.
Seyi Vibez suggested that resources generated through his work were used to expand the label’s operations.
In his posts, he insisted that his contribution to Dapper Music’s rise had been underestimated.
The comments represent one of his most direct public criticisms of the music executive.
Claims over artistes’ earnings
Beyond discussing his own experience, Seyi Vibez also expressed concern about other artistes connected to Dapper Music.
He alleged that the executive had taken advantage of musicians working with the platform.
Without identifying specific individuals or providing documentary evidence, the singer claimed he feared for those who remained under the company’s management.
His remarks added another layer to ongoing conversations within Nigeria’s entertainment industry about transparency in recording contracts, royalty payments and catalogue ownership.
In recent years, several Nigerian artistes have publicly discussed disagreements involving management arrangements, contractual obligations and financial settlements.
Hilda Baci mentioned in controversial remarks
Another aspect of Seyi Vibez’s posts that quickly drew public attention was his reference to celebrity chef Hilda Baci.
The singer alleged that money generated from artistes’ music catalogues was being spent on her alleged cosmetic procedure.
He specifically mentioned a Brazilian Butt Lift while making the accusation.
The claim rapidly spread across social media, becoming one of the most widely discussed parts of his online posts.
However, Seyi Vibez did not present evidence supporting the allegation, and Hilda Baci had not responded publicly by the time of publication.
The chef’s name therefore became part of the controversy despite her not directly participating in the exchange.
Food allegation adds another twist
Seyi Vibez also recalled what he described as an unpleasant personal experience involving food.
According to the singer, he once ate food associated with Dapper Music that he claimed nearly caused serious harm.
He alleged that the food had been provided to him through the music executive and suggested the experience left a lasting impression on him.
Like his other claims, he did not provide further details or supporting evidence regarding the incident.
The allegation nevertheless attracted significant attention because of its unexpected connection to the wider dispute.
Social media becomes battleground
The singer’s comments illustrate how social media continues to shape public disputes within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Instead of relying solely on interviews or formal statements, many celebrities now address grievances directly through platforms such as X and Instagram.
Those posts often reach millions of users within hours, generating intense debate before official responses emerge.
In Seyi Vibez’s case, multiple excerpts from his posts quickly circulated across entertainment blogs and fan pages, amplifying the controversy.
His remarks also became part of broader conversations about trust, loyalty and financial relationships between artistes and their management teams.
Industry conversations around artist-management relationships
Although Seyi Vibez’s allegations remain unverified, they arrive at a time when discussions about artist-management relationships continue gaining attention.
The Nigerian music industry has experienced rapid international growth, with streaming revenue, publishing rights and catalogue ownership becoming increasingly valuable.
As a result, disagreements involving royalties, contract terms and revenue-sharing arrangements have become more visible.
Industry experts have frequently emphasised the importance of clear agreements between artistes and management companies to reduce future disputes.
While every disagreement has its own circumstances, public conflicts often reignite conversations about fairness within the business side of music.
Fans divided over allegations
Reactions to Seyi Vibez’s posts have been sharply divided.
Some supporters praised the singer for speaking openly about what he believes happened during his professional relationship with Dapper Music.
Others urged caution, arguing that serious allegations should be supported by evidence before conclusions are drawn.
Many fans also questioned the inclusion of Hilda Baci in the controversy, noting that she had not publicly addressed the claims.
The debate has continued across social media, with hashtags and screenshots from the singer’s posts circulating widely among entertainment audiences.
Silence from those mentioned
As of the time this report was published, neither Dapper Music nor Hilda Baci had issued an official public response.
The absence of immediate responses means the allegations currently represent Seyi Vibez’s account of events.
Whether further statements, legal responses or clarifications emerge remains uncertain.
Public disputes involving high-profile entertainers often evolve quickly as additional parties respond or release their own versions of events.
What happens next?
The latest controversy has once again placed Seyi Vibez at the centre of online discussion, not because of a new musical release but because of his outspoken criticism of a former industry associate.
His claims about helping build Dapper Music’s business, allegations regarding artistes’ earnings and references involving Hilda Baci have created one of the entertainment industry’s most talked-about conversations of the moment.
For now, the focus remains on whether those mentioned in the posts will respond publicly and whether the broader questions raised about artist-management relationships will prompt further discussion within Nigeria’s music industry.
Until then, Seyi Vibez’s remarks remain allegations made through his social media account, while the controversy continues attracting widespread attention across entertainment platforms.
