In a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos, Seyi Vibez shared his experience of being scammed while trying to join Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment, at the start of his career.
He explained that he had searched for how to join the label on Google and came across a phone number.
After calling the number, he was instructed to pay N10,000 for a registration form, which he did. However, he soon discovered that he had been blocked after making the payment.
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.
