Seyi Shay released “Love and War” with Vegedream on November 13, 2026. Two days earlier she posted a clip of herself on a night street and wrote, “See you on the battle field.”
The song starts on its hook. She sings, “All is fair in love and war,” and a tag for Harmony “HMoney” Samuels follows almost immediately, according to the credits on Apple Music. In the first verse she tells him how much she loved him, and that she once had eyes only for him. The chorus is blunter: she never wanted to break his heart, and still she tells him, “You’re in the way.” After that chorus, Vegedream arrives in French, singing about the space between love and war, the harm they have done each other, and how much better he feels without her. She comes back for another hook, then the beat drops down for the last bars and the hook hangs on without the full drums.
Vegedream is a French singer of Ivorian origin who spent part of his childhood in Gagnoa, the Côte d’Ivoire town in his handle. In 2018 he put out “Ramenez la coupe à la maison”, the unofficial anthem of France’s World Cup team.
Her last lead project under her own name, Feels Like Home Mixtape, Vol. 2, came out in December 2023. In May 2026 she appeared on “Pata Pata”, a DJ Dimple and Seyi Shay single featuring CANDI. “Love and War” is back on her Stargurl imprint, under license to Mad Solutions, and HMoney also produced “Right Now” on her 2015 debut, Seyi or Shay.
