“God Is Still God!” — Skales Reacts with Grace After Barcelona Fans Playfully Blame Him for UCL Exit
Nigerian singer and songwriter 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.”
The post struck a tone of calm and faith, earning admiration from fans for its spiritual maturity—even as online banter tried to tie him to Barcelona’s heartbreak.
The buzz stems from Skales’ recent viral moment: just days prior, Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s teenage sensation, was seen dancing to Shake Body during the club’s Copa del Rey celebrations. Riding the wave of that virality, Skales released a new single titled Dance Like Lamine Yamal on May 5, 2025—one day before Barça’s painful Champions League loss.
That timing, while purely coincidental, was enough for some fans to jokingly label him a “bad luck charm.” But Skales didn’t bite. Instead, he stayed grounded, choosing to praise God and embrace the moment with grace.
What a match … God is still God !!! All glory and praise to him in all circumstances
