Nigerian afrobeats singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has spoken up regarding the rising growth of hostility in the Nigerian music industry.

The singer, while speaking via his X handle, warned Nigerian artists about the impact of hostility, stating that it could one day lead to irreversible tragedy.

Skales called on his colleagues and their fans to stop fueling division, stressing that peace is far more valuable than rivalry.

“One day all this beef that y’all are promoting will cause the loss of lives in this Nigerian music industry… pls y’all better stop before it’s too late… love is cheaper than hate so is respect,” he wrote.

The artist opened up on his experience in the music industry, revealing that betrayal almost dimmed his light. Skales explained that people he once considered as teammates turned against him, spread lies about him and labeled him jealous.

“In this industry I was betrayed, lied upon, called a jealous person. People that I thought we were on the same team told many lies bout me because they got the spotlight and sold different agendas pushed to downplay my greatness. But this is 2 decades in and the boy is still shining and more relevant than ever…. No better help than God’s mercy…. God bless my mom for teaching me how to pray,” he added.
