Olamide changed my life after EME sacked me – Skales

Nigerian singer and rapper, John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales has narrated how his colleague Olamide helped him get back on his feet after his exit from Empire Mates Entertainment, EME.

Speaking in a chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Skales noted that he was broke and homeless after his former record label, EME refused to renew his contract because the label wasn’t making profit from investing in him.

Recounting his story, Skales said his life changed for the better after YBNL boss, Olamide called him on the telephone and hailed him for one for his songs 'Shake Body’.

According to the singer, Olamide asked him of his plans to shoot a video for the song but told him of his financial struggles and homelessness.

He said, Olamide immediately sent him money for the video shoot and the song went on to become a success.

He said, “My deal with them was done and they refused to continue because I wasn’t doing well at that time.

“Olamide contacted me and said he loved one of my songs, Shake Body, and asked if I wasn’t going to shoot the video. I told him I was homeless and couldn’t possibly shoot a video and he sent me money. My God turned my life around after that video shoot”.
