Singer Skales has opened up about his poor relationship with fellow singer Wizkid, stating that the superstar has never loved him.
In an interview with the Listen podcast, Skales described a social media feud that exacerbated their tensions.
During a Twitter Q&A, Skales playfully stated that Wizkid no longer had time for him, provoking Wizkid to retaliate with a storm of obscenities.
He said, “I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me.
“If you go back and check our social media fallout, I think I was doing a ‘question-and-answer’ session on Twitter and somebody said, ‘What’s up with your guy Wiz?’ And jokingly, I said, ‘My brother Wiz does not have my time anymore.’
“From there, Wizkid started insulting me, my father and my mother. That’s to show you that he probably had me in mind. He said I wear fake jewellery. That time, I wasn’t the one replying, it was my ex-girlfriend.
“I pick my battles. When I know that people will believe anything you say, I don’t need to fight you. Because whatever I say, they are going to say I am jealous. They are going to say I am envious of Wizkid’s success. And that was the story that was going round. I sat down recently and said, ‘This guy [Wizkid] really don’t like me.’ I have tried to make peace with him but he was adamant. He didn’t like me, I can tell you for a fact”.
