Seyi Vibez, a popular Nigerian singer, shared a story about how he got scammed while trying to join Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment, in the early stages of his career.

He mentioned that he searched on Google for information on how to join Starboy Entertainment and came across a contact number. After calling the number, he was instructed to pay N10,000 for the registration form, which he did. Unfortunately, he was blocked after making the payment. 

The singer revealed this in a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos.

Vibez said, “I remember when I was 13 years old, I wanted to sign to Starboy, I went to Google and typed, ‘How to register to Starboy record label.’ I saw one number and I called the number, the guy who picked it said I should pay for form N10,000.

Seyi Vibes said he sold his phone so he could pay for the registration fee.

“That was how I sold my phone and paid the guy N10,000 but after the payment he blocked me. He told me that he was Wizkid’s recruitment officer. I said I would come for the screening, I would perform and Wizkid would judge my performance. So I fell for it.”

He advised up-and-coming artists not to register with any record label online.
