In a post shared by @thenetng on Instagram, celebrity chef Hilda Baci’s legal team issued a formal cease-and-desist letter to Street-pop artist Seyi Vibez following lyrics in a recently teased track claiming “her food almost killed him”.
Reporting on the dispute, Vanguard Newspapers shared that “Baci’s representatives maintain that the artist’s lyrics constitute malicious defamation aimed at hurting her culinary brand.” Meanwhile, Channels TV Entertainment verified via X that “Seyi Vibez’s management has yet to release an official response regarding the pending legal notice.”
This dispute underlines the thin line between creative artistic freedom in music and real-world brand defamation. Watch for either an out-of-court settlement or a formal retraction before the official release of the song.
