  • Controversy: Zinoleesky & Seyi Vibez – Beef or Not?

    It appears that fresh beef is brewing between these two sensational street-hop acts after their latest videos.

    In recent days, videos from Nigerian street-hip acts Seyi Vibez and Zinoleesky have sparked speculations that there may be beef between the two.

    There has always been speculation surrounding Seyi Vibez and the YBNL heavyweight singer Asake due to their similar craft. Despite this, it appears that the discussion is now focusing on something else.

    Zinoleesky asked his fans on Instagram on Monday, May 29, 2023, if he should create a snippet that would “unsettle things”.

    Seyi Vibez also responded to an “unknown” snippet on Instagram just two hours after taking to the platform.

    Seyi Vibez says anyone should feel free to drop a snippet, as his music arsenal is equally loaded. Seyi tossed a subtle jab at being independent while others are still dependent on their record labels.

    The coincidence has fans wondering if the two singers are referring to each other, even though it remains unclear if they are referring to each other.

    But is Zinoleesky a Record Label Slave? You will get to know this in this article, follow it closely…

    Who is Zinoleesky

    Born November 21, 1999, Oniyide Azeez is a pioneering performer in Nigeria’s Street Pop music scene. The gifted rapper, singer, and composer are Professionally known as Zinoleesky.

    The talented musician started making freestyle rap videos to share on social media to advance his career. He would typically rap to instrumental versions of well-known songs or perform renditions of current singles in the nation. As more fans of Afrobeats and Streep Pop sounds showed appreciation for his music, he eventually grew a following on social media.

    He bagged a ‘record deal with Marlian Music’ in 2019 and has released a commercial successful Extended Play titled Chrome.

    He is regarded as one of the future guardians of Afrobeats because he has created hit songs such as Gone Far, Kilofeshe, Ma Pariwo, Wo Wa Mi, and Rocking.

    Who is Seyi Vibez?

    According to Wikipedia, Balogun Afolabi Oluwaloseyi known professionally as Seyi Vibez, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter.

    He is known for his breakthrough single “Chance (Na Ham)” from his second studio album Billion Dollar Baby which debuted at No. 19 on the UK Afrobeats singles chart and peaked at number 7 on the TurnTable Top 100 chart.

    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. The conflict began when Seyi Vibez unveiled a sneak peek of his upcoming track ‘Amdallah’ on his social media platform. Shortly after, Zinoleesky took to the internet to tease his fans with a snippet of his song, hinting at the possibility of disrupting the music industry.

    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.

    Consequently, Seyi Vibez retaliated by expressing his indifference towards Zinoleesky’s snippet release, emphasizing that he did not view himself as competing with anyone. 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.

    While one might have expected the drama to end there, Zinoleesky recently took a swipe at a particular musician during an Instagram live session. He claimed that this musician’s song would never top the music charts, regardless of what he did.

    This remark infuriated Seyi Vibez, prompting him to take to his Instagram Stories to refer to Zinoleesky, who is signed to Marlian Music, as a “label slave.” Seyi Vibez further stated that he would not be surprised if Zinoleesky decided to sell his current house and purchase a new one solely because of him.

    Seyi Vibez wrote in a series of Insta Story posts, saying:

    “Now you fit say you wan sell your house go buy another one because of me!! Lmao!”

    “Your number 1 songs got you an apartment!”

    “That’s why you are angry!”

    He continued,

    “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“

     “Finally” – Unfollows Each Other On Instagram

    As expected, Zinoleesky and Seyi Vibez unfollow each other on Instagram due to the beef. This move further escalated tensions between the two artists and their respective fan bases.

    The once-friendly relationship between Zinoleesky and Seyi Vibez has seemingly turned sour, as they have now unfollowed each other on Instagram, likely due to the ongoing beef between them.

    This could be a sign of the long-standing tension between the two artists finally reaching their boiling point.
