Today, Skales took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight on his journey in the music industry, stating that Wizkid did not play a significant role in his success.
He expressed his focus on creating quality music and urged Wizkid’s fans to extend respect his way. In response to a comment from user @Perfect_Mipo, who claimed,
“Wizkid made you,”
Skales replied firmly, saying,
“Ask him to tell you how … I have respect for him, but he didn’t help me. If anyone deserves recognition, it’s Banky W for believing in teenagers.”
As a reminder, both Skales and Wizkid started their careers under Banky W’s label, Empire Mates Entertainment (EME). Skales has continued to credit Banky W’s support as pivotal in his early career, clarifying that it was Banky, not Wizkid, who deserves praise for his mentorship and belief in young talent.
