Published

on

Nigerian rapper, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has revealed his struggles after leaving Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), Banky W’s record label.

Skales got signed to EME in 2010 and left in 2014 following the expiration of his four-year recording contract.

Speaking in a recent episode of #WithChude, the rapper said he became homeless for almost a year after leaving the label.

Skales said his struggles continued until Olamide, the ace rapper, came to his aid.

“My deal with them (EME) was done and they refused to continue because I wasn’t doing well at that time,” he said.

“So, Olamide called me and said there is this song I’m hearing everywhere, I was told you sang it.

“I asked him if he was talking about ‘Shake Body’ and he said yes. Then he asked if I wasn’t going to shoot the video. I told him I was homeless and didn’t even have a place to stay not to talk of shooting a video. Then he asked me to send my account and promised to send me money for the shoot.

“I got the money shortly after sending the account number. I was like, this guy wasn’t even my friend. My life around after that video shoot”.

The rapper also reflected on being born into a poor family and how he engaged in several menial jobs to get money.

“Growing up was really though. It was depressing then because things my peers could afford, I couldn’t. As a kid then, I felt bad,” he added.

“I did a lot of things back then just to get money including helping other students with their homework. I came a very poor family.”

‘I’m retiring from music’ – Kanye West

A former security guard, Jonathan Monroe, has initiated legal proceedings against Kanye West, asserting that the rapper did not compensate him for his services.

Court documents indicate that West engaged Monroe in August 2021 to provide security at his residence in Malibu, California, with a stipulated hourly wage of $30.

Monroe contends that he worked considerable hours, between 36 and 50 hours weekly, yet did not receive any payment.

He further claims that after expressing concerns regarding his unpaid wages, West terminated his employment in October 2021.

The lawsuit seeks restitution for:

– Unpaid wages

– Interest on the owed amount

– Punitive damages

This legal matter comes to light following West’s recent sale of his Malibu property for $21 million, a significant reduction from its original listing price of $53 million.

Wizkid continues to shade Davido, reflects on their last link-up

Nigerian music superstar Wizkid has continued to express his disdain for fellow artist Davido, taking every opportunity to criticize and belittle him. The ongoing feud between the two prominent musicians has escalated further, drawing attention across social media platforms.

Recently, an incident reignited their rivalry when a video clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing a brief and seemingly cordial interaction between Wizkid and Davido at a public event. In the video, the two were seen exchanging greetings, sparking curiosity among fans who thought the two might have settled their differences. However, a netizen accompanying the post implied that Wizkid must be secretly wishing for more moments like that encounter, suggesting a longing for reconciliation.

In response, Wizkid wasted no time confirming the user’s speculation but took it a step further by delving into details of what transpired that day. According to him, the scenario was not as it appeared on the surface. Wizkid alleged that Davido and his entourage had crashed his DJ’s party in Lagos, showing up uninvited. He claimed that the appearance was not a friendly gesture but an intrusion on what was meant to be a private event.

Wizkid further asserted that Davido’s behavior was nothing new, alleging that the singer frequently sought him out wherever he went, describing him dismissively as his “fanboy.” He insisted that Davido’s efforts to connect with him were not genuine and were only attempts to gain attention or relevance in settings where Wizkid was already making headlines.

The harsh words from Wizkid have only added fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two musicians. Fans of both artists have been divided, with some siding with Wizkid for his candor, while others criticize him for taking unnecessary jabs at Davido. The situation has led to a social media storm, with hashtags related to both artists trending as supporters and critics weigh in on the unfolding drama.

Despite the tensions, it remains unclear if the rivalry will deescalate anytime soon or if this is merely another chapter in their long-standing competition. For now, the public can only watch and wait to see what happens next in this ongoing clash between two of Nigeria’s biggest musical icons.

In his words:

“Want what? He looks for me everywhere I go like a fan boy he his! This was an event for one of my Dj’s Skyla in Lagos! We no invite dem!”
