    Nigerian singer Skales has stated that he played a pivotal role in inspiring Burna Boy during the early stages of his career.

    Speaking during an interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Skales disclosed that before collaborating with Burna Boy on the 2017 hit ‘Temper Remix,‘ the Grammy-winning artist had not achieved significant mainstream success.

    Skales noted that while he isn’t attempting to take credit for Burna Boy’s achievements, he believes their collaboration served as a stepping stone. He also acknowledged the mutual inspiration between the two artists over the years.

    In his words, “I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody helped anybody. We probably admire ourselves and decided 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.”

    The Temper Remix collaboration marked a notable moment in the Nigerian music scene, showcasing the synergy between the two artists.

    Skales emphasized that the essence of such collaborations is mutual support and promotion, enabling both parties to grow within the industry.

    This revelation has sparked conversations among fans, reflecting on how partnerships and alliances have shaped the careers of many Nigerian artists.
