Skales, a Nigerian singer and rapper, has recalled how record label executive Olamide changed his life when Empire Mates Entertainment, EME fired him.
Skales said to media personality Chude Jideonwo that the YBNL boss assisted him when he (Skales) was financially bankrupt following his rupture with EME.
After his former record label, EME, refused to renew his contract, the ‘Shake Body’ singer stated he became homeless and broke.
According to him, EME sacked him because the label wasn’t making profit from investing in him.
He said his life changed forever after Olamide called him on the telephone, telling him he likes one of his songs titled ‘Shake Body’.
Skales said the YBNL boss asked if he wasn’t going to shoot a video for the song, but he told him that he was broke and homeless.
Afterwards, Skales said Olamide sent him money for the video shoot and the song went on to become a commercial success.
He said, “My deal with them was done and they refused to continue because I wasn’t doing well at that time.
“Olamide contacted me and said he loved one of my songs, Shake Body, and asked if I wasn’t going to shoot the video. I told him I was homeless and couldn’t possibly shoot a video and he sent me money. My God turned my life around after that video shoot.”
