When it comes to drama in the Nigerian music industry, Skales’ recent interview with Accelerate Studio might just take the cake or at least a hefty slice. In a candid chat, Skales didn’t hold back as he revealed his long-standing feeling that Wizkid, the Starboy himself, doesn’t quite vibe with him. “I’ve always felt like Wizkid doesn’t like me,” he admitted, a statement that felt more like a mic drop than a casual comment.
According to Skales, this sentiment isn’t new. He mentioned that he once joked about it on Twitter, but the reaction from fans was anything but funny. Trolls descended in full force, and let’s just say their keyboards were blazing hotter than a plate of freshly fried puff-puff. Interestingly, it was Skales’ ex-girlfriend who took up the task of responding to the trolls, proving that love or at least loyalty can sometimes be found in the comment section.
But Skales didn’t just stop at Wizkid. He went on to list his favorite musicians, naming Burna Boy as his number one and Olamide as a close second. This raised a few eyebrows, considering his history with Wizkid during their early days at E.M.E. Records. Could this ranking be a subtle dig, or is Skales simply keeping it real? Either way, his choices have sparked conversations.
One notable line from the interview was Skales’ assertion: “If you don’t have value, people wouldn’t come for you.” A bold statement, indeed, and perhaps a subtle way of reminding everyone that being trolled is, ironically, a form of recognition. After all, no one bothers dragging an artist they don’t care about.
Now, here’s the million-dollar question: Is there hope for a Skales and Wizkid reunion? While the interview shed light on Skales’ feelings, it left us wondering whether the rift is deep or just a surface-level misunderstanding. Wizkid is famously private think of him as the musical equivalent of a locked diary so the chances of a heart-to-heart sit-down seem slim. But hey, stranger things have happened. Who knows? Maybe a collaborative track could be the olive branch this story needs.
At the end of the day, this situation feels a bit like watching two jollof rice vendors arguing over whose pot tastes better both are icons in their own right, and there’s room for everyone at the table. Whether this story ends in a truce, a banger, or more sub-tweets, one thing’s for sure: the fans are here for every spicy detail 😉.
