‘He doesn’t like me’ — Skales addresses feud with Wizkid

Skales the Nigerian singer has addressed his relationship with his colleague Wizkid.

Wizkid and Skales were former label mates at Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), Banky W’s record label.

Skales joined EME in 2010 but left in 2014 following the expiration of his four-year contract while Wizkid signed out in 2014 after five years with the music label.

In 2015, the singers traded abuses on social media in a battle that saw them cast aspersions at each other.

In a recent X post, Skales lamented how people switch up on him after attaining fame.

“You know how many people I have given a platform and when they made it , they switched on me but I’m still here and still being blessed by God … I’m unstoppable… I am from Kaduna with Edo in my blood … I am Martina’s son,” he wrote.

The tweet attracted varying reactions, with one user accusing Skales of switching up on Wizkid by “becoming friends with his enemies”.

“You switched on wiz too, became friends with his enemies so as to spite him…Forever an underdog, Werey,” the user wrote.

In his response, the 33-year-old argued that Wizkid “never liked him”. He added that they were just colleagues at EME.

“I never ever switched on him … he doesn’t like me … we were never close friends either but eme members … so rest,” he wrote.

“I have never hated anyone not even your fav fam… I have always believed success is the best revenge even if it takes me 20 years … working on my self and bringing out the best version of me is more important to me so rest.

“Na una dey bring him matter come anytime wey I dey yarn my own so I gasto clear all the lies wey dem dey push hope him go talk wetin I do am … I no want make him like me either.”
