Seyi Vibez: How I was scammed while trying to join Wizkid’s label

Seyi Vibez, the Nigerian singer, has recalled how he was scammed while trying to join StarBoy Entertainment, the music label owned by Wizkid.

Seyi Vibez spoke about his early days in the music industry in a recent interview with Wazobia FM.

The ‘Bullion Van’ hitmaker said he went online to Google “how to join StarBoy Entertainment” and saw a phone number.

After calling the number, Vibez said he was asked to pay N10,000 for the registration form which he did but got blocked after the payment.

“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,” he said.

“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.

“Vibez Incorporation, we represent the street. I know everyone will want to be on the label. Keep freestyling and keep working. Go to the studio, work hard, pray to God. Do not fight your mummy or your daddy. Let them pray for you, you will blow up.”

Vibez, 23, has enjoyed fame since he hit the limelight. He has also collaborated with notable names in the music industry.

He connects himself with the street with his ingenious style of music.

In August 2023, the singer recalled how living in Ikorodu, Lagos inspired him to go into music.

He released an extended play (EP) titled ‘NAHAMciaga’ last December.
