‘I was scammed while trying to join Wizkid’s label’ – Seyi Vibez Reveals

Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez shared a cautionary tale from his early music career, revealing how he was scammed while trying to join Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment.

Vibez explained during a recent interview on Wazobia FM, Lagos, that he searched online for instructions on joining Starboy. “I remember when I was 13 years old, I wanted to sign to Starboy,” he said. “I went to Google and typed, ‘How to register to Starboy record label.’ I saw one number and I called the number.”

He continued, detailing the conversation that led to him being scammed: “The guy who picked it said I should pay for the form, N10,000.” Vibez added, “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.”
