Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has revealed that he played a significant role in inspiring his colleague, Burna Boy, at a certain point in his career.
During a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Skales mentioned that before their collaboration on the ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017, Burna Boy had not yet achieved a hit song.
He also acknowledged that Burna Boy has, in turn, been a source of inspiration for him over the years. Skales emphasized that the main purpose of collaborations is to support and uplift each other in the industry.
“I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody help anybody. We probably admire ourselves and we decide to work together,” he said.
“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 added.
