Nigerian musician Skales has stated that Wizkid, his former record label partner and collaborator, never liked him.
He asserted that he has consistently experienced the “Starboy’s” repulsive vibe.
The “Shake Body” crooner recently talked about his social media feud with Wizkid in an episode of the “Listen” podcast.
As you may remember, in 2015, the two had criticised one another on Twitter, which is now X, a microblogging site.
The feud had started when, during a question and answer with fans on X, a netizen asked when he and Wizkid would release a song together. Skales had said, at the time, that Wizkid was too busy for him.
Clarifying his statement in the recent interview, Skales who claims to be Burna Boy’s inspiration said his comments about Wizkid was meant as a joke but his colleague had misinterpreted it. He said:
“I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me.
“If you go back and check the our social media fallout, I think I was doing a ‘question-and-answer’ session on Twitter and somebody said, ‘What’s up with your guy Wiz?’ And jokingly, I said, ‘My brother Wiz does not have my time anymore.’ From there, Wizkid started insulting me, my father and my mother. That’s to show you that he probably had me in mind. He said I wear fake jewellery. That time, I wasn’t the one replying, it was my ex-girlfriend.
“I pick my battles. When I know that people will believe anything you say, I don’t need to fight you. Because whatever I say, they are going to say I am jealous. They are going to say I am envious of Wizkid’s success. And that was the story that was going round. I sat down recently and said, ‘This guy [Wizkid] really don’t like me.’ I have tried to make peace with him but he was adamant. He didn’t like me, I can tell you for a fact.”
