Popular Nigerian artist, Seyi Vibez has revealed how he was duped when attempting to join Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment, in the early stages of his career.
He recalls looking up how to join Starboy Entertainment on Google and finding a phone number, he called and was told that he needed to pay N10,000 for the registration form, which he did but was then blocked after payment.
In his words;
“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 advises up-and-coming artists not to sign up for any record label online.
