The long-running tension between Zlatan Ibile and Seyi Vibez has finally boiled over, with both artistes trading subtle but stinging jabs that have sent “Egbon Adugbo” trending across social media.The drama began three weeks ago when Seyi Vibez accused Adekunle Gold of shading him on the song “Life of the Faaji” with the line “They love my Fuji, this no be Fuji Moto” — a clear reference to Seyi’s hit song and album title. Adekunle Gold stayed silent on the matter.Last week, Seyi turned his attention to Zlatan Ibile, who provided backup vocals on the same track, accusing him of joining the alleged diss. Zlatan maintained silence until today, when he finally addressed the issue.In a calm but calculated response, Zlatan wrote:“It actually hurts that my brother thinks I would diss him in anyway. It’s literally a misunderstanding. @seyi_vibez
it’s all love bro, when you’re ready to talk it out I’m here!! 4L ABURO MI”
Seyi Vibez quickly fired back, accepting the apology while cleverly reducing Zlatan with the trending nickname:“Iya LOSEYI know how many pikin she born. But Apology accepted Egbon Adugbo. Pls next time don’t do back up artiste to diss me on a song. Thank You Zlatan”
The exchange has divided fans. While some praised Zlatan for choosing peace and maturity, many others felt his response was too soft and uninspiring. A large section of netizens believe Seyi came out on top with the “Egbon Adugbo” punchline, which has now become a viral meme.The back-and-forth continues to dominate discussions on X, Instagram, and TikTok, with music lovers weighing in on who handled the situation better.This latest chapter adds to the growing list of subtle rivalries in the new generation of Nigerian artistes, where indirect shots and clever wordplay often generate more buzz than direct confrontations.Whose side are you on in this Zlatan vs Seyi Vibez drama?
