The 23rd of August 2025 will be remembered as a historic night for Nigerian music lovers as Seyi Vibez, one of Afrobeats’ fastest-rising stars, took over the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) with his highly anticipated homecoming concert, “Seyi Vibez Live.”

Organised by Homeland Entertainment, the show drew thousands of passionate fans who thronged Lagos Island to witness a performance that proved why Seyi Vibez has become one of the most influential voices of his generation.

A Star’s Journey to the Spotlight

Seyi Vibez first caught the attention of music lovers in 2020 with his breakout single, Godsent. His raw, Afro-Fuji-inspired sound resonated with a new wave of fans hungry for authenticity. By 2022, his album Billion Dollar Baby shot him into mainstream stardom, debuting at number one on Nigeria’s TurnTable 50 chart. Since then, the singer has grown into a household name, commanding large audiences and collaborating with some of the industry’s biggest stars.

TBS: A Historic Stage for a Defining Night

Hosting the concert at Tafawa Balewa Square, a sprawling 14.5-hectare venue steeped in Nigeria’s cultural history, added a symbolic weight to the night. Known for its role in hosting major national events, TBS provided a monumental backdrop for Seyi Vibez’s performance, allowing fans to experience his music on a grand scale.

The crowd was treated to a carefully curated setlist of hits, from street anthems to soulful ballads, all delivered with the raw emotion and passion that define his artistry. The synergy between Seyi Vibez and his fans was palpable, with the audience singing along word-for-word to his biggest hits.

Surprise Performance with Olamide

One of the night’s biggest highlights came when Olamide, a living legend in Nigerian music, stormed the stage as a surprise guest. The crowd erupted as both artistes performed “99,” one of the standout tracks from Olamide’s recently released self-titled album, which also features Asake and Young John.

The collaboration was more than just music; it was a symbolic passing of the torch from a veteran to a new voice carrying the street sound forward. For many fans, it was a dream moment to see both artists sharing the stage in such an electric atmosphere.

 

A Night of Joy Marred by Tragedy

While the night was unforgettable for many, it ended in tragedy for some fans. Reports surfaced the following morning that several young concertgoers lost their lives in a fatal car accident while returning from the show.

According to eyewitness accounts shared online, the victims were allegedly racing on the motorway in the excitement of leaving the concert when their vehicles collided in a multiple-car crash. A viral post read: “They left the show and started racing on the motorway, trying to overtake other cars. Why race on the highway? May their souls rest in peace. SPEED KILLS.”

The devastating incident has since cast a sombre shadow over what was otherwise a milestone celebration for Seyi Vibez and his fans, serving as a painful reminder of the need for caution and responsibility on the road.
