Following the twitter war between Skales and Wizkid yesterday, the 36NG Team writes the 5 deductions they made from the words they said to each other and the whole scenario.
1. Skales and Wizkid stopped being friends a long time ago: While most people believe the two get along amicably, what happened yesterday shows there’s been a major crack in their working and personal relationship for sometime.
This is actually obvious when you recall that Skales and Wizkid hardly feature on each other’s track… Afterall Banky W is a regular attendee on Wizkid’s albums, it’s only fair Skales gets a nod if they are cool.
It is also obvious that their issue is personal.
2. Skales Loyalty to Wizkid has affected him and his career: I have had a personal encounter with the two of them before they became a household name. During this time, Skales acted like he was a ‘servant’ to Wizkid, aids his career, follows him to studio sessions, writes his songs (often), moves with him while doing nothing to help himself. He barely released songs too.
I can also recall that Skales was the man who told myself and my friends to exit Samklef studio (then), because Wizkid wanted to record… He should be working on his own career not following Wizkid to sessions.
It is fair to say he was acting under instruction from Banky W as Wizkid was the first man the label pushed back in the day. Also, the label (EME), then, wanted Skales to be a rapper,, purely so as to differentiate his music and brand from Wizkid.
3. Wizkid has been waiting for this moment: It seem like the case of let the sleeping dog lie. Wizkid tweeted way too much about the issue, he said too much.
If you ask me Wizkid has been waiting to say many of the things he said yesterday like Skales begging hoes for money, wearing fake chains, the label wanting to drop him, not having hit songs and many more. He seized the moment, very well from the beef aspect… But a bad look.
4. Skales should have left EME earlier: Since his departure from E.M.E, Skales looks like a different man. He has released a chart topping single for the first time in his career in Shake Body and Je Kan Mo looks like a potential hit if well promoted.
Most importantly he looks happy for the first time in a long while. Perhaps his happiness and hit song would have come earlier if he did pull the trigger soon enough.
Wizkid also noted that EME wanted to drop Skales long ago. “Skales!! Even when the label wanted to drop ur ass cos u didn’t make one naira for 3years! I was there! U a foolish guy with zero brain!,” Wizkid on twitter. He should have left.
5. Wizkid has a problem: Call it anger issue, childish behavior, pride, arrogant… but something is wrong with Wizkid.
He has had fights with many of his ‘day one’ friends with Skales the most recent. Wizkid in the last year has had issues with J Martins, Saeon, Samklef, Davido, EME (Banky W, Segun Demuren e.t.c).
Samklef reacted to Wizkid’s outrage yesterday by tweeting “…………” and “God bless us all” simultaneously.
