Adekunle Gold and Seyi Vibez at Loggerheads Over Fuji Moto Controversy as Fans React

Fans of Adekunle Gold and Seyi Vibez have gone head-to-head online following the controversy surrounding a lyric in Adekunle Gold’s newly released track, Life of the Faaji.

The debate began after Adekunle Gold sang, “They love my Fuji, this no be Fuji Moto,” a line many listeners interpreted as a subtle shot at Seyi Vibez and his 2025 Fuji-inspired project, Fuji Moto.

Although the singer never mentioned Seyi Vibez directly, the lyric quickly sparked heated discussions across social media, especially as both artistes have recently embraced Fuji-inspired sounds in their music.

Things escalated after Seyi Vibez reacted angrily on X, formerly Twitter.

“You are wack. Adekunle Gold you’re wack. And your swag is wack. Old fool!” he wrote.

In another post, the singer added, “Adekunle panda Egbon ofo! Egbon ya.”

Following the exchange, fans of both artistes flooded social media with mixed reactions, with many divided over whether the lyric was truly a diss or simply wordplay.

Defending Adekunle Gold, X user @YoungGeeOD wrote, “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 dismissed claims that the lyric was disrespectful.

“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.

Backing Adekunle Gold further, @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, yet you decided to directly insult Adekunle Gold for clout.”

However, several fans insisted Seyi Vibez was justified in his response.

@tweetishola1 wrote, “This is diss and disrespectful to Seyi Vibez! But Adekunle panda fans choose 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 Adekunle Gold should have expected backlash.

“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 blending traditional Yoruba Fuji rhythms with Afrobeats and pop influences. Weeks later, Seyi Vibez dropped Fuji Moto, a project rooted in Fuji, street pop, and hip-hop sounds.

Speaking previously about his connection to Fuji music, Seyi Vibez explained that the genre has always been part of his upbringing and musical identity.

“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.”
