The relationship between Seyi Vibez and his first signee

TML Vibez, has been a rollercoaster of mentorship, success, and eventually, public friction.

Here is the breakdown of what happened between them

1. The "Big Brother" Mentorship (2023–2024)

Seyi Vibez officially unveiled TML Vibez as the first artist under his Vibez Inc. label in late 2023. Seyi often described TML as more than just a signee, but a "younger brother" and a key part of the new wave of "Afro-Adura" music. Together, they released hits like "Goated" and collaborated on the Vibez Incorporation Vol. 1 mixtape in 2024

2. The "360 Deal" Rumors & Financial Tension

By late 2024, cracks began to show. Reports surfaced suggesting financial dissatisfaction within the label.

In late 2025, the tension became public. TML Vibez reportedly left Vibez Inc. to pursue an independent path.

• Seyi's Response: Seyi Vibez has largely maintained his "Independent" branding and hasn't engaged in a lengthy public war of words, though he did delete many posts related to the initial Vibez Inc rollout

Current Status (January 2026)

The two artists appear to be officially estranged.

• Seyi Vibez is focused on his solo career and global tours, recently performing at the 2026 Abuja Countdown.
• TML Vibez is working as an independent artist, recently hitting over 500 million total streams and releasing his own project, Pawon Boy, to show he can survive outside the shadow of his former mentor.
