Nigerian singer, Skales, has made a bold claim that he inspired his colleague, Burna Boy, at a pivotal point in his career. In a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Skales stated that before he featured Burna Boy on his 2017 single “Temper Remix,” the Port Harcourt-born singer had no hit song.
Skales explained that the essence of collaboration is to support and promote each other, and he believes that his collaboration with Burna Boy helped to boost the latter’s career. “I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody help anybody. We probably admire ourselves and we decide to work together,” Skales said.
The singer added that Burna Boy has also inspired him over the years, and he believes that their collaboration was a mutually beneficial one. “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 explained.
