Skales fumes as critic claims Burna Boy helped his career

Skales, the Nigerian singer, has responded to a social media user who credited Burna Boy for reviving his career.

The controversy started when a critic commented on one of Skales’ posts, calling his career “dead” and attributing its resurgence to Burna Boy’s involvement.

The critic specifically mentioned the 2017 remix of Skales’ hit song ‘Temper,’ which featured Burna Boy and earned a nomination for Best Collaboration at the 2018 Headies.

“This is the more reason why everyone hates you mf. Burnaboy was part of the people that helped your dead career,” the user’s post reads.

However, Skales swiftly dismissed the claim, emphasizing that the Grammy winner did not contribute to his success.

The 33-year-old singer argued that the collaboration with Burna Boy was mutually beneficial.

“Listen I will defend myself always, I love Burna but don’t you ever say he helped me. No one helped me! Only my fans and God’s grace. We do collabo wey all of us benefit from. If the thing no benefit us, we no go dey perform for our different sets,” he wrote via his X page.
