Singer John Njenga-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has issued a warning to those who accuse him of betraying his colleague Burna Boy, claiming that the Grammy Award winning singer helped him in his music career.

Responding to critics on X, Skales expressed his admiration for the Burna Boy but dismissed their claim that the singer boosted his career.

He attributed his success to his fans and God’s grace. According to Skales, he and Burna Boy had a collaboration from which they both benefited.

He said, “Listen I will defend myself always … I love Burna but don’t you ever say he helped me … no one helped me! Only my fans and God’s grace .. we do collabo wey all of us benefit from .. if the thing no benefit us we no go Dey perform for our different sets …”

In another post, Skales listed the names of musicians who helped him in the music industry. He hinted that all he wants is to make good music and avoid any negativity.

“Put some respect on my name… I don tell una the only person sef wey help me na olamide and Timaya and Banky w… much respect to Burna … you guys always love to see artiste go against each other but ama set the record straight … I’m a don with this music and all I wana do is make Music and stay away from all that negative toxic bullshit … so love your fav and stop cooking up bullshit stories…” he said.
