Skales opens up about inspiring Burna Boy
Singer Skales has shared that he believes he inspired Burna Boy in his early career.
During an interview, Skales revealed that before they worked together on the 2017 remix of Temper, Burna Boy hadn’t yet achieved a major hit. Skales also highlighted that while Burna Boy has motivated him over the years, their collaboration played a part in boosting Burna Boy’s journey to success.
Skales explained the importance of teamwork in music, saying it’s about supporting and lifting each other up.
He stated:
“I believe I inspired Burna Boy, and I’m sure he would agree. It’s not about anyone solely helping the other; it’s mutual admiration and collaboration. Back then, Burna didn’t have a major hit before Temper Remix. After we worked together, things started to pick up for him. I’m not trying to claim credit for his success, but just as he’s inspired me, I think I also inspired him at some point.”
