Wizkid never liked me and he showed it – Skales

• Skales has claimed Wizkid never liked him despite being former EME record label mates.
• The singer made this known in a recent podcast when recalling his social media brawl with his colleague some years back.
• Skales added that Wizkid didn’t hide his dislike for him so much so that he wasn’t interested in burying the hatchet when the former reached out.

Nigerian singer, Skales has claimed that his colleague and former record label mate, Wizkid, never liked him.

He claimed that he has always felt repelling energy from the ‘Starboy.’

Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner recounted his social media fallout with Wizkid years ago.

It would be recalled that the two had blasted each other on the micro blogging platform, Twitter, now X in 2015.

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.”
