Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known by his stage name Skales, has asserted that he helped his colleague Burna Boy succeed.
According to Naija News Thrill, Skales claimed to have influenced Burna Boy at one time during his career in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos.
Skales claims that before to his appearance on “Temper Remix” in 2017, the musician from Port Harcourt had no successful single.
“Over the years, Burna Boy has also inspired me,” he said, adding that “supporting and promoting each other is the essence of collaboration.”
He stated, “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.”
