Seyi Vibez’s ‘Children of Africa’ Suprise Drop Reaches #1 on Apple Music Charts

Seyi Vibez dropped his EP Children of Africa under his own label, NSNV Inc. This 4 tracker featuring a big collaboration with American rapper NLE Choppa has been getting a lot of buzz for its spiritual and healing vibes. Fans have been raving about tracks like SHAOLIN.

The EP dropped with no promotion and got 100,000 streams within the first hour. While most of the feedback has been positive with people saying Seyi Vibez’s music is very emotional, there’s been a few criticisms about the project.

Seyi Vibez’s collaboration with NLE Choppa brings an international flavor to the EP. NLE Choppa has been active in 2025, dropping singles like Crescent Moon and Can We Live? during Black History Month. His feature on Children of Africa bridges the gap between Nigerian and American hip-hop.

Children of Africa is a big win for Seyi Vibez. In 2024, he was nominated for BET Award for Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act. His previous works including his debut album Billion Dollar Baby have been doing well, tracks like Instagram (featuring Muyeez) debuted at #1 on Apple Music Nigeria within 24 hours of release. This has solidified his place as a major player in the Afrobeats scene.

Apart from the streams, Children of Africa has achieved a big milestone, joining Davido’s Timeless as one of the fastest projects to get to #1 on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart, doing so in 6 hours. The EP still holds the #1 spot on Apple Music’s Album Charts in less than 7 hours after release, further cementing Seyi Vibez as one of the biggest artistes in the Nigerian music industry.

The EP drops at a time when Seyi Vibez is getting recognition in the award circuit. He’s nominated for 2025 Headies Awards for Best Recording of the Year for Different Pattern and Viewers’ Choice Award for Big Big Things featuring Young Jonn and Kizz Daniel.

These nominations shows he’s getting bigger and the industry is recognizing his talent.
