Nigerian singer Skales has addressed ongoing discussions about his collaborations with fellow artist Burna Boy, urging fans and critics to acknowledge Burna Boy's contributions to the music industry.
In a recent post on social media, Skales clarified that while he respects Burna Boy, he does not attribute his career success solely to him. He emphasized that his achievements are the result of his own efforts and the support of his fans. Skales also expressed a desire to move beyond negative narratives and focus on his music.
This statement follows previous comments from Skales where he credited other artists, such as Olamide, Timaya, and Banky W, for their support during his career. He also mentioned that he inspired Burna Boy at a certain point in his career, particularly before their collaboration on the 2017 remix of 'Temper.' Skales stated that Burna Boy had no hit song before that collaboration, which he believes contributed to Burna Boy's subsequent success.
Skales' comments highlight the complexities of collaborations in the music industry and the importance of mutual respect among artists.
