Seyi Vibez recounts being scammed while attempting to sign with Wizkid’s record label
Nigerian singer Seyi Vibez recently recounted a troubling experience of being scammed by someone pretending to be Wizkid’s manager when he was 13 and trying to secure a record deal.
In an interview with Wazobia 95.1 Lagos, Seyi Vibez shared that he had dreamed of being signed to Wizkid’s record label, Starboy Entertainment since he was 13 years old.
He described how he yearned to join the Starboy crew and resorted to Google to search for “how to register for Starboy Entertainment.”
During his search, he found a phone number and called it. The person on the other end claimed to be Wizkid’s manager and asked for N10,000 for a registration form.
Trusting their assurances that he would be invited for a screening process and allowed to perform for Wizkid, he sold his phone to pay for the form. However, after making the payment, he was blocked.
He shared this story to caution someone who asked about joining his record label, Vibe Inc., advising them not to register online.
