Wizkid never liked me – Skales

Nigerian music star Skales has addressed the longstanding speculation surrounding his relationship with fellow artist, Wizkid.

In a recent post on social media, Skales shared that despite being labelmates, the two were never close.

His comments reignited discussions about the dynamics within the music industry and the challenges artistes face when relationships become strained.

In the post, Skales wrote, “You know how many people I have given a platform, and when they made it, they switched on me, but I’m still here and still being blessed by God. I’m unstoppable. I am from Kaduna with Edo in my blood. I am Martina’s son.”

The post sparked mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.

One user accused Skales of being guilty of the very behaviour he was speaking against, specifically referencing his relationship with Wizkid.

“You switched on Wiz too and became friends with his enemies so as to spite him. Forever an underdog, Werey,” the critic commented, clearly suggesting that Skales had taken sides in industry rivalries.

In a swift response, Skales denied the accusation and clarified the nature of his relationship with Wizkid. “I never ever switched on him… he doesn’t like me… We were never close friends either, but EME members… So rest,” he replied, referring to their time together under Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) label.

Skales’ revelation has sparked renewed interest in the dynamics between artistes who once shared the same platform.

While both Wizkid and Skales were EME members, their careers took different paths, fans say.

Wizkid has enjoyed global success, while Skales has carved out his niche in the industry with his unique sound.

Despite the tensions, Skales said he remained focused on his career and personal growth.

For now, Skales is clear in his stance: there was never a close friendship, only mutual respect as labelmates.
