Singer Skales has claimed that he played a significant role in the success of his colleague, Burna Boy.
Speaking in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Skales said he inspired Burna Boy during a critical phase of his career.
He pointed out that before featuring on the “Temper Remix” in 2017, Burna Boy had not recorded a major hit.
Skales highlighted the essence of collaboration in the music industry, emphasizing that mutual support and promotion are key.
He added that he and Burna Boy have influenced each other’s careers over the years.
Skales said: “I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody helps 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.”
