“I Inspired Burna Boy” – Skales Claims He Inspired Burna Boy’s Rise to Fame
Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has made a bold claim, stating that he played a key role in inspiring Burna Boy at a pivotal point in the Grammy-winning artist’s career.
In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Skales revealed that before the collaboration on the 2017 hit Temper Remix, Burna Boy had not yet experienced major success in the music scene.
According to Skales, it was their joint effort that helped elevate Burna Boy’s career to new heights.
“I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me,” Skales confidently said.
“At that time, Burna Boy had no major hit song, and it was after we worked together on Temper Remix that his career really began to take off.
I’m not trying to take credit for his success, but I believe I played a role in his journey.”
Despite claiming to have had an influence on Burna Boy’s early career, Skales also emphasized that the two musicians have always had a mutual admiration for each other.
He explained that collaboration in the music industry is not about one person helping the other, but about supporting each other’s growth and creativity.
“Collaboration is about promoting one another and lifting each other up,” he added.
“We admire each other’s work, and that’s why we decided to work together.”
Skales, known for his own hits like Mukulu, Shake Body, and Samba, has had a significant career in the Nigerian music industry.
Over the years, he has transitioned from being part of the group Jungle Music to becoming a solo artist with a dedicated fanbase.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, has evolved into one of the most recognized and influential African artists worldwide, especially after his Grammy win for Twice As Tall.
Nigerian singer Wizkid has reacted to the reported clash between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez.
Wizkid took to social media to mock Burna Boy, making controversial remarks and referencing Sean Diddy Combs.
His comments have since sparked reactions online, with fans divided over the ongoing tension between the artists.
Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has reacted to the public backlash he faced following a request he made to graphic designers.
It can be noted that the singer took to social media asking for a graphic designer to create a flyer, which later turned into a challenge that many criticised, stating it undervalued creatives.
Moses Bliss has now issued an apology, saying “I sincerely apologize to every graphic designer who felt disrespected or undervalued… that was never my intention.”
He added “The goal was to give creatives a platform to showcase their work, not to undermine their value.”
Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune has expressed concern about the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the music industry and how it could affect jobs.
It can be noted that similar concerns have previously been raised online, especially on platforms like Twitter, where many fear AI could replace artists and producers.
He wrote “AI is quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering industry. I have seen scary things tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem.”
He further shared how advanced AI tools are already capable of producing high-quality music, raising questions about the future of human creativity in the industry.
