Skales Opens Up About Wizkid: “He Never Liked Me”
Nigerian singer, rapper, and songwriter Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known by his stage name Skales, opened up about the tension that’s been brewing between him and his former record label mate, Wizkid for years in a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast.
“I’ve always felt Wizkid didn’t like me,” Skales claimed. He went on to recount a specific incident that happened way back.
“If you go back and check our social media fallout, I think I was doing a ‘question-and-answer’ session on Twitter and somebody said, ‘What’s up with your guy Wiz?’ And jokingly, I said, ‘My brother Wiz does not have my time anymore.’ From there, Wizkid started insulting me, my father, and my mother. That’s to show you that he probably had me in mind.”
The intensity of Wizkid’s reaction took everyone by surprise, especially since Skales’ ex-girlfriend was handling his social media at the time. Wizkid’s harsh words, including accusations of wearing fake jewelry, made it clear there was more to their feud than met the eye.
“He said I wear fake jewellery. That time, I wasn’t the one replying, it was my ex-girlfriend.”
Despite these bitter exchanges, Skales said he tried to make peace. But, Wizkid remained resolute, proving to Skales that “He doesn’t like him”.
“I pick my battles. When I know that people will believe anything you say, I don’t need to fight you. Because whatever I say, they are going to say I am jealous. They are going to say I am envious of Wizkid’s success. And that was the story that was going round. I sat down recently and said, ‘This guy [Wizkid] really don’t like me.’ I have tried to make peace with him but he was adamant. He didn’t like me, I can tell you for a fact.” Skales admitted, adding that he’s learned to pick his battles wisely.
