“Stop disrespecting fellow artists” – Skales urges colleagues

76

Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, also known as Skales, has urged fellow musicians to treat one another with respect.

He expressed his ideas on social media and urged his coworkers to help one another.

He underlined the transient nature of popularity while stressing the need of being polite and considerate to coworkers.

Skales urged his peers to keep in mind that an artist’s present success does not imply their continued relevance.

On his X handle, he wrote:

“Stop disrespecting your fellow artiste especially when you know as e dey go.

“You fit dey untop today no mean say the same people wey dey ginger you no go forget you tomorrow.”

In another story, Skales compares himself to King Solomon.

This admission came during an interview on the Drip Check At The Nike Store show, which was hosted by Sheye Banks.

When asked about the number of women he has been involved with, Skales estimated it to be about 100.

I have dated about 100 women or so. If I wasn’t married I would probably be on the King Solomon path he declared.

Drawing parallels to the Biblical figure who famously had 700 wives and 300 concubines, Skales reflected on his own past experiences with relationships.

He stated that when he was younger and single, he encountered various women and was on a similar path.

Reflecting on his past behavior, Skales acknowledged his faults and the repercussions of his actions.

He stated:

“Let me explain. I’m in a different situation right now but back then I just couldn’t get enough of women. Women are endless, you know? You keep going to the streets and you see women everywhere bro. As at then, I would have been like King Solomon. You know he had like so many wives and how many concubines. This guy used to travel and take ships to meet these women.”

“I did a lot of childish things back then. What do you expect from a teenager that had a lot of fame and lots of access to women? There are a lot of good women that I lost because of my childish mentality or behaviour and stuff like that. I’m becoming a better man now.”
