Nowadays, social media is divided for a straightforward reason: Fuji. Only a few hours after Adekunle Gold’s release of “Life of the Faaji,” the festive atmosphere swiftly descended into chaos. Tension is rising quickly, from fans dissecting every word on the Fuji Xtra deluxe to Seyi Vibez’s vehement comments on the internet. The lyrics, the responses on social media, and the rivalry that is currently making headlines are all broken down here.
The Catalyst: A “Deluxe” Diss?
The drama started on Friday, May 8, 2026, when Adekunle Gold released his new deluxe project, Fuji Xtra. The 5-track extension to his earlier Fuji album featured collaborations with stars like Olamide and Simi, but it was one particular song, “Life of the Faaji,” that quickly got people talking.
On the song, Adekunle Gold sings: “They love my fuji, this no be Fuji Moto.” Netizens immediately linked the line to Seyi Vibez, who released a project titled Fuji Moto in November 2025. Many listeners saw the lyric as a subtle jab, with Adekunle Gold seemingly suggesting that his own Fuji-inspired sound was the real deal.
The connection was hard for fans to ignore because both artists released Fuji-themed projects within a month of each other in 2025. Adekunle Gold dropped Fuji in October, while Seyi Vibez followed with Fuji Moto in November, leading to constant comparisons online. So when Adekunle Gold mentioned “Fuji Moto” directly in his lyrics, social media quickly interpreted it as shade aimed at Seyi Vibez.
Things escalated even faster after Seyi Vibez reacted online on Friday, May 8, just hours after the song dropped, making fans even more convinced that the lyric was personal.
The Clapback: Seyi Vibez Fires Back
Not long after “Life of the Faaji” started trending, Seyi Vibez fired back publicly on X. Unlike the subtle approach many fans believed Adekunle Gold used in his lyrics, Seyi Vibez was direct with his response. In a series of heated posts, he called Adekunle Gold “wack” and even referred to him as an “old fool,” turning the situation into a full-blown online clash.
The back-and-forth did not stop at music. Seyi Vibez also mocked Adekunle Gold’s fashion sense, wife and public image. Adekunle Gold has built a strong reputation for his stylish transformation over the years, but Seyi Vibez dismissed it by saying his “swag is wack.” Fans quickly saw it as an attempt to attack not just his music, but the entire image he has created in the industry.
Seyi Vibez also used words like “Egbon ofo,” a Yoruba phrase that loosely means “useless elder brother.” While the term “Egbon” usually shows respect to an older person, he used it sarcastically to mock Adekunle Gold’s status as an older and more established artist. He also mocked Adekunle Gold’s image and style, calling him “Adekunle panda”, which many fans interpreted as Seyi Vibez dismissing AG Baby’s Fuji persona as artificial or forced compared to his own street-rooted sound. The singer also dragged Simi into the exchange, referencing an earlier online allegation involving the singer in resurfaced tweets. He tweeted in the wee hours of Saturday, May 9, “Ngbo baba Duduke
Iya duduke like to dey nack small small pikin?.”
