Nigerian musician, Skales has shared how his senior colleague, Olamide rescued him financially after he left Empire Mates Entertainment (EME). After EME declined to renew his contract because the label couldn’t make money off of him, Skales said in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo that he ended up homeless and broke.
He claimed Olamide called and inquired about filming a music video for his single “Shake Body.”
Skales however, replied that he was broke and homeless. Olamide sent him money for the video shoot, after which the song became a 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”.
