Rising Afrobeats star TML Vibez has opened up about his strained relationship with his former mentor, Seyi Vibez, shedding light on the turbulence surrounding their time at Vibez Inc. and Dapper Music. In a candid post on X, the artist recounted his journey from the streets to stardom, describing how his 2023 signing to the label was a dream come true before disputes over contracts and loyalties led to tension.
TML Vibez denied recent accusations of betrayal following Seyi Vibez’s dramatic 2024 exit from Dapper Music, insisting that he has always shown respect and gratitude to the artist who inspired his rise. “I never turned my back on anyone,” he wrote. “I just want peace and progress.” The heartfelt message struck a chord with fans, many of whom rallied behind him and urged the young star to stay focused on his growing career.
The feud highlights deeper issues within Nigeria’s fast-evolving music scene, where questions of ownership, royalties, and artist independence continue to spark public debate. Despite the controversy, TML Vibez appears determined to move forward, channelling his experiences into his music and reaffirming his identity beyond the shadows of past affiliations.
