Street pop star Seyi Vibez has deleted his social media posts about celebrity chef Hilda Baci, hours after receiving a legal warning over the posts.
The development comes amid an ongoing dispute between the singer and his former label, Dapper Music, owned by Damilola Akinwunmi, popularly known as Dapper.
Seyi Vibez, alongside former Dapper Music acts Shallipopi and T.I Blaze, had accused the label of royalty issues and alleged missing funds worth N1 billion.
During the heated exchange on X, Seyi Vibez made claims about Hilda Baci, who is Dapper’s girlfriend. He alleged that the music executive used money from their catalogue to pay for Hilda’s cosmetic surgery. He also made negative comments about her food business.
Hilda, through her lawyers, responded with a cease-and-desist letter. She described the posts as defamatory and demanded their removal, along with a public apology, or threatened legal action.
“We hereby demand that upon receipt of this letter, you immediately remove and permanently delete the above referenced publications together with any other statement, post, comment, image, video and repost,” the letter read.
Her lawyers also demanded: “Issue a clear and unequivocal public apology and retraction in respect of the offending publications, to be published prominently and contemporaneously across all your social media accounts.”
After receiving the warning, Seyi Vibez deleted all posts mentioning Hilda Baci. However, as of press time, he had yet to issue the demanded public apology.
Seyi Vibez signed with Dapper Music in 2022. He announced his exit in September 2024 and now describes himself as an “Independent artist.”
