Nigerian Afrobeats artist Skales has recently shared a deeply personal revelation about the betrayals he has faced in the music industry. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), the singer expressed his disappointment with individuals he once supported, who later turned their backs on him.
Skales wrote, "One day I’ll sit down and tell you a story of how a lot of people turned their backs on me, including people I helped build up in this industry. But guess what? God never failed me even when I was isolated… Don’t you ever stop praying and trusting God with everything you’ve got… Best advice my mom gave me!!!"
The emotional post highlights the challenges he has endured, including feelings of isolation and betrayal. Despite these setbacks, Skales credited his faith in God and his late mother’s advice for giving him the strength to persevere.
Fans have rallied around Skales, offering words of encouragement and praising his resilience. Many have also called for greater unity within the Nigerian music industry, emphasizing the need for artists to support one another...
@TOBIMAKANAKI: "Omo I’m happy for you bro but please always try to focus on your success and the hurdle ahead of you. Focus on yourself and stop talking about other people that don’t give a shi**t about you. Everyone’s trying to survive, get that and start acting like a star. FOCUS baba."
@Berrychexplace: "It's well. I'm sincerely happy you are no longer where they left you."*
@james_ayodele19: "Betrayal is the highest. Most are broken, it's left to find hope when you're hopeless. You're resilient and that defines human. I pray you find your feet again."
@alli_ya7: "Prayer is the key to paradise. But food is the key to everlasting strength and happiness, especially when it’s made with love, cleanliness, and peace. Skales, you definitely need food before dropping this gist. Please check my media to get a tray or two from me."
@SONOFABELIEVER: "Why not focus on your success? Each and every other day you are always talking about other people. Take a chill pill and work on yourself. Those you are talking about are building their own life too. You might be the problem if those people can speak up too."*
