‘I Have Respect For Wizkid But He Never Helped Me’ – Skales

Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has stated that his colleague and former record label mate, Wizkid, never helped him at any point in his career.

Naija News reports that the singer made this known while acknowledging that his former record label boss, Banky W, including Olamide and Timaya, have helped him in the music industry.

In the post via his X handle, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner also credited Burna Boy’s support in his career.

He wrote, “Put some respect on my name… I don tell una the only person sef wey help me na olamide and Timaya and Banky W… much respect to Burna … you guys always love to see artiste go against each other but ama set the record straight.

“I’m a don with this music and all I wanna do is make Music and stay away from all that negative toxic bullshit … so love your fav and stop cooking up bullshit stories…”

Reacting to the post via the comment section, an X user claimed that Wizkid made Skales.

He wrote, “Wizkid made you.” 

Skales rebuffed the claims, stating that he respects Wizkid, but the singer did not help him.

He responded, “Ask am make him tell una how … got respect for him but he dint help me … if anything Banky deserves the praise and respect for believing in teenagers.”

Skales and Wizkid were the first artists signed to Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment, EME, in the 2010s, but exited the label long after attaining stardom.
