Nigerian artist Skales recently shared that his career received no assistance from his former label mate, Wizkid.
Instead, he credited his former label boss Banky W, along with Olamide and Timaya, for offering him genuine support along the way. Skales also gave a nod to Burna Boy for his encouragement.
Via his X account on the 28th of October, 2024, the singer 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…”
In the comments, an X user going by @Perfect_Mipo boldly asserted that Wizkid was responsible for Skales’ rise to fame.
“Wizkid made you,” the user remarked.
Skales responded saying, “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.”
Recall that In the early 2010s, Skales and Wizkid were among the first artists signed to Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) label, but both eventually parted ways with the label after reaching stardom.
