Popular Nigerian singer, Seyi Vibez has recounted how he was defrauded while attempting to join Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment, during the early days of his career.

He recalled that he Googled how to join Starboy Entertainment and he saw a number. Upon calling the number, he said he was asked to pay N10,000 for the registration form which he did but got blocked after the payment.

The ‘Cana’ hitmaker disclosed this during 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.

“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.
