John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales in Nigeria, is a singer and rapper who has spoken about how the firing of Olamide from Empire Mates Entertainment, EME, changed his life.
In a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Skales revealed that the YBNL president assisted him after his dispute with EME left him broke.
The singer of “Shake Body” said that after his former record company, EME, declined to renew his contract, he ended up homeless and broke.
He said that EME fired him because the label didn’t see a return on its investment in him.
He said his life changed forever after Olamide called him on the telephone, telling him he likes one of his songs titled ‘Shake Body’.
Skales said the YBNL boss asked if he wasn’t going to shoot a video for the song, but he told him that he was broke and homeless.

Afterwards, Skales said Olamide sent him money for the video shoot and the song went on to become a commercial success.
He said, “My deal with them 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.”
