Nigerian singer and songwriter, Balogun Oluwaloseyi better known as Seyi Vibez, recently hosted a homecoming concert at Ikorodu, Lagos State, where he apparently began his career.
Prior to the event, the fast-rising street pop act in an earlier Instagram post, had said the concert was to celebrate his three years in the Nigerian music scene.
Videos from the just-concluded event, where he thrilled the audience with some of his hit songs and his fans reciprocating his love for the free show, later trended on social media.
However, another clip captured the moment Seyi Vibez threw wads of ‘Naira’ notes at the massive crowd which came out in their numbers to welcome him at his father’s house.
