From a branding perspective, using recognizable names like Instagram, Whatsapp or Facebook might be a clever marketing strategy to make his music more memorable and stand out in a crowded industry. The release of ‘Instagram’ surpassed 1,328,000 streams on Spotify within seven hours of its debut, leaving fans and critics alike stunned.
Regardless, it’s also possible that Seyi Vibez has personal experiences or stories related to social media that he shares through his music.
