Billion Dollar Baby is the second studio album by Nigerian street-pop singer Seyi Vibez. It was released on 2 November 2022, through Vibez Inc, and Dvpper Music. The album included guest appearances from Simi, and Mayorkun. The album is a mixture of Fuji, Tungba, and Apala rhythms. It was executively produced by Dvpper Music founder and CEO Dapper, and Seyi Vibez, along with production from TBM, Enta, QUE, FreshVDM, and Rexxie.[1] The deluxe version of the album was released on 9 December 2022.
On 5 May 2023, The Africa Reporters cited Seyi Vibez as one of the pioneers of "Afro-Adura", a subgenre of Afrobeats with Street-pop influence fused with Yoruba prayers, with Billion Dollar Baby establishing this fact.[2]
Adeayo Adebiyi, a music reporter for Pulse Nigeria stated that “Overall, 'Billion Dollar Baby' retains sufficient identity that carries along existing listeners while providing the gratification needed to bring new listeners into the fold. One thing is for sure, there's more talent from where this project comes from and the Billion Dollar Baby can only get better”.
