Celebrity Chef Hilda Baci Sues Seyi Vibez Over Defamation Allegations
Hilda Baci, a two-time Guinness world record holder, is taking musician Seyi Vibez to court over defamatory posts on his X page. The posts, which claimed Hilda Baci's food nearly killed Seyi Vibez after it was given to him by Damilola Akinwunmi, the CEO of Dapper Music, have been viewed approximately 4.3 million times.
Defamatory Posts Spark Backlash
The posts were part of a series of attacks Seyi Vibez directed at Akinwunmi, with whom he's feuding over contract disagreements. In the letter by Hilda Baci's lawyers, Olaniwon Ajayi LLC, Seyi Vibez is accused of making the libellous post. The lawyers further added that since the musician made the post, their client has been exposed to unwarranted, persistent, and escalating harassment across various social media platforms.
Hilda Baci's lawyers made some demands, including the permanent removal of the publications, a public apology and retraction, and a call on his followers and fans to desist from further harassment. Seyi Vibez, however, appears to hold a frivolous view of the subject, claiming to have laughed after seeing the letter.
Three Days to Comply
Hilda Baci's lawyers have issued three days for Seyi Vibez to comply with the demands, or they will be forced to take legal action. It's now left to be seen if the singer will fulfil the demands or whether the matter will go to court, or the parties will reach a private resolution.
In a statement, Hilda Baci's lawyers said: "Following the publication of the aforesaid malevolent statements, our client has been subjected to unwanted, persistent and escalating harassment across various social media platforms and personal handles, including a barrage of unsolicited and abusive messages and comments from members of the public."
A Growing Concern
The incident highlights the growing concern of celebrities and public figures being targeted with online harassment. While Seyi Vibez's reaction to the letter has sparked reactions from observers, the severity of the situation is yet to be seen. As the three-day deadline approaches, fans and followers are waiting with bated breath to see how the situation will unfold.
In the meantime, Hilda Baci's reputation as a world-renowned chef remains intact, with her culinary skills and quality of her meals still being praised by fans and critics alike. The incident, however, serves as a reminder of the importance of online accountability and the need for celebrities and public figures to be protected from online harassment.
The court will now decide whether Seyi Vibez will comply with Hilda Baci's demands or face the consequences of his actions. Only time will tell what the outcome will be.
