Renowned Nigerian culinary star Hilda Baci has officially initiated legal actions against popular street-pop artist Seyi Vibez following highly controversial remarks made online. The legal warning demands an immediate retraction of what her representatives describe as defamatory and malicious statements posted across social media.
The Origin of the Dispute
The escalation follows a highly publicized digital feud involving former signees of Dapper Music. Artists Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi, and T.I Blaze recently called out the record label’s chief executive, Damilola “Dapper” Akinwunmi, over alleged unpaid royalties and a dispute involving approximately N1 billion in missing funds.
Targeting Hilda Baci
As the online argument intensified on X (formerly Twitter), Seyi Vibez targeted Hilda Baci, who is reportedly in a relationship with the music executive. The singer alleged that Dapper had diverted artists’ catalog earnings to finance Baci’s cosmetic procedures. Furthermore, he made disparaging remarks regarding her culinary business, claiming that her food “nearly killed” him.
The Legal Demands and Cease-and-Desist
In a swift response, Hilda Baci’s legal counsel characterized the musician’s assertions as calculated falsehoods aimed at tarnishing her professional reputation. The formal warning letter issued to Seyi Vibez outlines several strict directives:
- The immediate and permanent deletion of all defamatory publications, including posts, videos, comments, and reposts across all digital platforms.
- The publication of an unequivocal, prominent public apology and retraction across his active social media channels.
- A written commitment, to be delivered within three days, promising to cease and desist from publishing any further defamatory content regarding Baci.
The legal notice warns that failure to comply with these terms within the three-day ultimatum will leave the celebrity chef with no option but to pursue comprehensive civil litigation for libel and defamation of character.
