Seyi Vibez, a prominent Nigerian artist, has disclosed that he was cheated when attempting to join Wizkid’s record company, Starboy Entertainment, in his early career.
He recalls searching Google for information on how to join Starboy Entertainment and finding a number.
When he called the number, he said he was requested to pay N10,000 for the registration form, which he paid but was blocked afterward.
The ‘Cana’ hitmaker said this in a recent interview with Wazobia FM in Lagos.
He warned aspiring artists not to sign up with any record label online.
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.”
