I didn’t receive any help from Wizkid – Skales

Against popular belief that he was helped by his colleague, and former record label mate, Wizkid, Nigerian singer, Skales has clarified that the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner never helped him at any point.

Skales made a short list of artists who had helped his career mentioning his former record label boss Banky W, Burna Boy and Olamide and Timaya.

The ‘Shake Body’ hitmaker on his X handle on Monday 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…”

Taking to the comment section, an X user with the handle @Perfect_Mipo claimed that Wizkid made Skales.

“Wizkid made you,” he wrote.

Skales rebuffed, “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 they exited the label long after attaining stardom.
