Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, claims he was an inspiration to Grammy Award-winning aritiste Burna Boy.

In an interview with Naija FM, Lagos, Skales stated that before he featured Burna Boy on ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017, the Port Harcourt-born singer had no hit song.

He also revealed that at some point in his music career, Burna Boy became an inspiration to him.

Explaining the essence of collaboration, Skales stated that supporting and promoting each other is necessary to succeed in music.

“I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody helps 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.
