Nigerian singer, Skales, has declared that he played a role in inspiring his fellow musician, Burna Boy, during a certain phase of his career.
In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Skales stated that prior to their collaboration on the ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017, Burna Boy had not yet achieved any notable hits.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged that Burna Boy has also served as a source of inspiration for him throughout the years.
Skales emphasized that the primary purpose of collaboration is to uplift and promote one another.
“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,” Skales said.
