Skales Reveals: Why Not Having Baby Mamas Haunts Him

Nigerian singer Skales recently opened up about his regrets regarding fatherhood, expressing a desire for more children during an interview with BET Africa. Following the death of his mother in October 2022, the artist has felt an intensified responsibility to continue his family’s bloodline.

“Right now, I regret not having baby mamas,” Skales revealed. “I regret it because I’m the only person in my family bloodline alive right now. When my mom died, I realized that there isn’t much of my bloodline left.”

Skales married Precious Njeng-Njeng in May 2021, and the couple welcomed their first child in March 2023. This experience of parenthood has led him to reflect deeply on his family’s legacy and the importance of passing on his lineage.

Earlier this year, Skales drew comparisons to the biblical King Solomon, revealing that he has dated approximately 100 women throughout his life. His experiences in love and relationships have shaped his views on family and legacy.

The artist, known for hits like “Shake Body” ” Temper” “Booty Language”, has made strides in the music industry since he began writing rap songs in 2000. He has collaborated with various stars, including Burna Boy, Timaya, Davido, Sarkodie, Banky W, Falz, others, solidifying his presence in the Nigerian music scene.

Skales has also been candid about the struggles he faced while growing up in a poor family. Reflecting on his past, he shared, “Growing up was really tough. It was depressing because things my peers could afford, I couldn’t. I did a lot of things back then just to get money, including helping other students with their homework.”
