The ‘Cana’ hitmaker, who disclosed this during a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos revealed that he had always dreamt of joining Starboy Entertainment, since he was a teenager.

The music star shared his experience as a cautionary tale those asking about joining his record label, Vibe Inc, as he stressed that interested artistes would not be asked to register online.

Seyi 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.”
