In a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, also known as Skales, revealed that he felt he had inspired Burna Boy at one point in their careers.
Skales claimed that before featuring Burna Boy on the ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017, the singer from Port Harcourt had not yet released a hit song.
Despite this, Skales acknowledged that Burna Boy had also served as an inspiration to him throughout the years.
He emphasized the importance of collaboration in the industry, emphasizing its role in supporting and promoting fellow artists.
“I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody help anybody. We probably admire ourselves and we decide 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,” Skales said.
