Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng popularly known as Skales has recounted how ace rapper, Olamide saved him after his exit from EME Records.

He said that he was rendered homeless and did not have any money after his contract with Empire Mates Entertainment expired, but Olamide came through for him financially.

Skales revealed this during a chat with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo, where he also explained that the label refused to renew his contract because they were unable make profits from him.

According to the artiste, Olamide called him on phone and asked if he wasn’t going to shoot a video for his song ‘Shake Body,’ before it became a club banger.

Skales said he informed the YBNL boss that he was broke, so Olamide sent him money and he did the video shoot after which the Shake Boy turned to a smash hit at the time.

He said:

“My deal with them [EME] was done and they refused to continue because I wasn’t doing well at that time.

“Olamide contacted me and said he loved one of my songs, Shake Body, and asked if I wasn’t going to shoot the video. I told him I was homeless and couldn’t possibly shoot a video and he sent me money. My God turned my life around after that video shoot”
