Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known by his stage name Skales, has stated that at one point in his career, he served as an inspiration to Burna Boy, his colleague.
In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Skales asserted that Burna Boy, a musician from Port Harcourt, had no successful song prior to his inclusion on the 2017 single “Temper Remix.”
But he also mentioned how Burna Boy has influenced him throughout the years.
He clarified that encouraging and supporting one another is the fundamental component of teamwork. As stated by Skales:
“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.”
