Seyi Vibez, a well-known Nigerian musician, shared a story about being scammed when he tried to become a part of Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment, at the start of his career.
He mentioned that he searched online for information on joining Starboy Entertainment and found a contact number.
After calling the number, he was instructed to pay N10,000 for a registration form, which he did. Unfortunately, he was blocked after making the payment.
This revelation was made by the artist during a recent interview with Wazobia FM in Lagos.
Seyi 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.
“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 sign up for any record label online.
