**The Nigerian music scene is in turmoil with Asake’s recent statements on Seyi Vibez’s hit “Different Pattern”.**
In a rather surprising turnaround that should delight fans, Asake shared on his Instagram story his true love for Seyi Vibez’s hit track “Different Pattern.”
On February 22, 2024, Asake posted on her Instagram story: “True love for @seyi_vibez ‘Different Pattern'”, showing that there is no animosity between the two stars.
Asake’s entry into the mainstream music scene in January 2022 saw him blend Afrobeats, Fuji music and hip-hop to create captivating neo-Fuji music. Later the same year, Seyi Vibez broke into the mainstream with her hit single “Chance”, which bore notable similarities to Asake’s “Organise”.
While Asake’s music is underpinned by Fuji, an indigenous Yoruba musical genre, that of Seyi Vibez is marked by Apala, another variation of indigenous Yoruba music.
The use of music from white-robed churches and the exploration of hip-hop were common denominators that inevitably led to comparisons from fans.
The Nigerian musical universe is full of varied and complementary talents, offering a richness and diversity that never ceases to amaze and seduce listeners.
Asake’s statement on Seyi Vibez’s “Different Pattern” reveals a broader view of the music industry, where creativity and mutual appreciation among artists are at the center of this ever-evolving cultural dynamic.
In an era where music transcends borders and genres, these interactions between artists help to further enrich and diversify the global musical landscape, providing a rich and stimulating listening experience for music enthusiasts.
This openness and recognition between Asake and Seyi Vibez reflects the continuing evolution of Nigerian music and is a testament to the vitality and creativity of this dynamic music scene.
Definitely, the love for music knows no boundaries and this connection between artists is both fascinating and inspiring for fans and music lovers around the world.
