Seyi had made the claims while reacting to an industry row involving his former music label boss, Dapper.
On August 15, 2026, top Lagos law firm Olaniwun Ajayi LP sent a formal demand letter to the singer on behalf of their client, Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci. The letter cited defamation, malicious content, and potential violations under Nigeria's Cybercrimes Act.
The firm's demands included an immediate takedown of the posts, a public apology and retraction across all of Seyi Vibez's social media platforms, and a call on his followers to stop any harassment directed at Hilda Baci. The letter gave him a written undertaking deadline of three days, warning that failure to comply would result in legal enforcement action without further notice.
