Nigerian artist Skales has generated buzz on social media after expressing regret for not having any baby mamas to have children with. During an appearance on BET’s *Off the Top* show, hosted by VJ Adams, Skales discussed his music career and made the surprising admission that his family’s bloodline relies on him to produce offspring, as he is currently the only surviving member.

Reflecting on the impact of his mother’s passing, Skales revealed that this realization hit him hard, prompting his desire for children.

His comments sparked diverse reactions on Instagram, with some users questioning the wisdom of seeking baby mamas and others pointing out the potential challenges that could come with that lifestyle.
