Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez has mocked rapper Blaqbonez following a series of posts on X, claiming that Odumodublvck remains his senior in the music industry.

The exchange began after Blaqbonez appeared to take a swipe at Seyi Vibez, writing: “Lagos agbero people, please, I am not Seyi Vibez, dammit.”

In response, Seyi Vibez accused the rapper of seeking attention through him. He also referenced Odumodublvck, telling Blaqbonez that “your daddy na still Odumodu.”

The singer further warned Blaqbonez against associating himself with him, saying the rapper could face a beating if he continued. He dismissed Blaqbonez’s comments as an attempt to gain publicity and advised him to take his “rubbish clout” elsewhere.

The online exchange has since attracted attention from fans, adding to the ongoing rivalry and banter among Nigeria’s contemporary music stars.

Nigerian gospel singer and pastor Nathaniel Bassey has reportedly become the first African gospel artist to surpass one billion views on YouTube.

According to statistics from his channel, Nathaniel Bassey Main, the music minister has recorded 1,014,544,577 views and attracted 5.24 million subscribers since the channel was created in 2011.

The milestone was driven by popular worship songs such as Imela, You Are God, and Onise Iyanu, as well as his online prayer and music movement, Halleluyah Challenge. Founded in 2017, the movement has attracted a global audience through its worship sessions and prayer broadcasts.

The achievement followed the conclusion of the October 5–30, 2026 edition of Halleluyah Challenge. It has sparked widespread excitement on social media, with followers congratulating Bassey on the historic accomplishment.
