Skales recently released his 22-track album, Man of the Year and it didn’t come as a surprise to many that none of his former label mates like Banky W and Wizkid, featured in any of the tracks in the album.
It will be recalled this was also the cause of the twitter war between Wizkid and Skales that made headlines few months ago.
In a recent interview with Punch's Saturday Beats, a close source in Skales' camp revealed the reason behind it, saying Banky W and Wizkid do not reckon with Skales at all since he left E.M.E.
The source said, “There are 22 tracks on the album. Skales really wanted Banky W to be on the album but I don’t think Banky W recorded his part of the song to feature in the album.
Skales sent Banky W the song he wanted him to feature in but there was no response from Banky W’s camp till date.
As for Wizkid, not being on the album was the genesis of the fight they had on twitter.
Skales became frustrated and snapped when Wizkid kept postponing recording his part of the song.
To be honest, the two are acting as if they do not have time for Skales but they have forgotten the story of the stone that was rejected and later became the cornerstone. Without them on his album, there are still a lot of hit songs on it. He featured some of Africa’s best on the album and I am sure it would be a success.”
Skales' management team however said the main reason Wizkid and Banky W were not on the album was because they had difficulties in choosing tracks to be included in the album from an over hundred songs.
The trio; Banky W, Wizkid and Skales used to be great buddies when he was still under Banky W’s EME label but that has now become a thing of the past.

ReplyDeleteSkales should first of all 'shake body' to shake off the excess fat, perhaps then people can take him seriously. It's just a suggestion tho.
