Burna Boy’s Career Took Off After Our Collaboration – Skales

Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, also known as Skales, a Nigerian artist, has stated that he once inspired his colleague Burna Boy in his career.

In a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, posted on X Thursday, Skales stated that before featuring Burna Boy on the 2017 track Temper Remix, the Port Harcourt-born artist had not yet achieved a hit song.

However, he noted that Burna Boy has been a source of inspiration to him over the years.

“I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody help anybody. We probably admire ourselves and we decide to work together.

“As at then, Burna boy had no hot song before I featured him on ‘Temper Remix.’

“It was after our collaboration that he started excelling. I’m not trying to take credit for his success but he has inspired me over the years and I believe I inspired him at a point, too,” Skales said.
