Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has claimed that he inspired Afrobeats star, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy.

Skales made this claim during a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos. He claimed that his feature with Burna Boy on ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017, brought the singer into more limelight.

The singer, however, clarified that he was not in any way taken credit for Burna Boy's success. He noted that the singer has also inspired him over the years.

Skales said:
"I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me. So, nobody help anybody. We probably admire ourselves and we decide to work together.

“As at then, Burna boy had no hot song before I featured him on ‘Temper Remix.’

“It was after our collaboration that he started excelling. I’m not trying to take credit for his success but he has inspired me over the years and I believe I inspired him at a point, too."
