Skales- i was never under any presure from WizKid at EME


Nigerian singer, Raul Njeng-Njeng popularly known as Skales has opened up on how being in the same label with
Wizkid at some point had an effect on him.
Speaking on Sunday, he opened up about his time at EME record, where himself and Wizkid were label mates, saying contrary to what many thought, he was never pressurized by Wizkid .
In his words:
“I have never been under pressure from Wizkid .
I have always been a singer even though I became more popular as a rapper. When I was in Kaduna, I wrote songs but rap was the in-thing back then, so that’s what I concentrated on more. I believe that artistes have their individual styles and it’s not necessary to compare one artiste with another. I had a wonderful time with EME and they contributed so much to my career.
But I’ve moved on and I’m grateful to God that I’m doing well in my career.”
On what drives him to keep on making good music:

“I have a very deep passion for what I do. Anyone who knows me would tell you that I’m very particular about my music and nothing is more important than that to me. I am not in it just for the money but to make an impact and also touch lives along the way.”
