Nigerian artiste, John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has recounted how he was always compared to his colleagues and constantly trolled while he was at Empire Mates Entertainment, EME.

He said he was being pressurised because he was under the shadow of two of the biggest artistes at that time; Banky W and Wizkid.

He recalled that trolls even compared him to N200 on Twitter because he wasn’t doing well at that time.

The ‘Shake Body’ crooner disclosed this in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

Skales said, “I will go on Twitter, people were comparing me to N200. Of course, I was under the shadow of two of the biggest artistes at that time [Banky W and Wizkid]. So, you know the pressure mehn. I had to come through.

“Some times, I will release music, I will go to YouTube or some random sites, I will see like the first five comments na insults. I will just not want to read the comments again. And I will just be feeling bad not knowing that there is people that think what you just did is the most amazing thing they’ve heard so far.”

Raoul John Njeg-Njeng, the famous Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Skales has talked about Wizkid.

He finally addressed his long-drawn-out beef with Afrobeats superstar, Wizkid.

Recall that in 2015, the two exchanged insults on the microblogging platform, Twitter.

It all began after one Twitter user inquired when Skales and Wizkid would release a single together during a question-and-answer session with fans and he replied that WizKid was too busy for him.

Skales explained in a recent interview with Echo Room that he had intended that as a joke but Wizkid had taken offense to it.

He disclosed that his friend had phoned to tell him that WizKid was insulting his father on Twitter as a result of what he had said.

According to Skales, the responses that came from his account at the time weren’t even from him, but rather from his girlfriend at the time.

He continued that he felt offended by the entire incident, but explained that WizKid might have been in a foul mood at the time.
