Davido celebrates Skales’ viral moment with playful message on X
Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has shown love to fellow Nigerian artist Skales, offering a playful yet uplifting message following Skales’ recent resurgence in the spotlight.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Davido tweeted:
“SKALOOO NO COME NAIJA OOO… MANY ARTIST WEY DEY LAFF WAN DEY UR POSITION!! MILK AM TILL ITS PEAK (see punchline)! @youngskales! CONGRATS AGAIN U DESERVE AM!”
The message came just days after Skales experienced a career-boosting viral moment, thanks to Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, who was seen dancing to the 2014 hit Shake Body during the Copa del Rey celebrations.
Riding the wave, Skales released a follow-up track titled Dance Like Lamine Yamal on May 5, further igniting excitement among fans and industry peers.
In response to Davido’s message, Skales replied with love emojis, signalling appreciation for the superstar’s support. The wholesome interaction quickly went viral, with fans praising the camaraderie and genuine encouragement between two of Nigeria’s music veterans.
Davido’s tweet serves not only as a congratulatory shout-out but also a humorous nudge to make the most of the moment, reminding Skales—and everyone watching—to ride the wave of success with confidence.

Recall, Skales has responded with a message of gratitude and unwavering faith after finding himself unexpectedly linked to Barcelona’s dramatic UEFA Champions League exit.
The Spanish side bowed out of the tournament in a heart-stopping semi-final clash against Inter Milan, losing 4-3 on aggregate after a gut-wrenching extra-time winner at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Amid the emotional fallout, fans turned to social media—and somehow, Skales’ name entered the chat.
Shortly after the final whistle, the Shake Body crooner took to his X (formerly Twitter) page with a reflective post:
“What a match… God is still God!!! All glory and praise to Him in all circumstances.”
