The Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known by his stage name Skales, has disclosed that his former record label partners and fellow musician Burna Boy, as well as Wizkid, have never offered him any assistance at any point in his career. Skales revealed this information.
The musician who is well known for his song “Shake Body” disclosed that the only individuals who have ever provided him any assistance in the past are his former record label boss Banky W, Olamide, and Timaya.
Skales also praised Burna Boy for the support that he provided.
He posted the following comment on his X Twitter account on Monday: “Put some respect on my name… It is not true that Olamide, Timaya, and Banky W are the only individuals who have attempted to help me in the past; I choose not to tell you that. burna is deserving of a tremendous deal of respect. Although it is always interesting for you guys to watch musicians fight against one another, I would like to set the record straight… With regard to this music, I am a don, and all I want to do is compose music and stay away from all of that toxic and negative stuff. I want you to quit making up weird things about me because I love you so much and I just want you to stop.
A user on X who goes by the name @Perfect_Mipo claimed that Wizkid was the one who originally created Skales. The comment section is where this individual articulated their claim.
He stated in his letter, “Wizkid created you.”
Skales responded to him with a rejection, stating, “Ask me whether he can tell you how… felt regard for him, yet he did not support me in any manner. Banky is deserving of praise and respect for putting faith in young people, if there is anything at all.
In spite of the fact that another comment claimed that Burna Boy played a significant role in helping Skales secure a boost to his career, Skales responded by saying, “Listen, I will defend myself continually… There is a great deal of affection that I have for Burna, yet I ask that you never assert that he helped me in any manner. Absolutely no one offered me any kind of support! Because of the grace of God and the support of my fans, we are able to work together in a way that is advantageous to each and every one of us simultaneously. It is possible that we will not perform for any of our sets if the collaboration does not provide us with any benefits.
The statement that Skales made, “I’m a don with this music, and all I wanna do is make music and stay away from all that negative toxic bullshit,” brought attention to his desire to concentrate on producing music and avoiding negative energy. In addition, he mentioned that he desired to steer clear of negative energy.
The first musicians to sign with Banky W-controlled Empire Mates Entertainment in the 2010s were Skales and Wizkid. Despite this, they ultimately decided to leave the company after a considerable period of time after they reached worldwide popularity.
