In a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos, Seyi Vibez recalled googling how to join Starboy Entertainment and finding a contact number. When he called the number, he was asked to pay N10,000 for a registration form. After making the payment, he was blocked.

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.”
