Skales Warns Against Destructive Beef In Nigerian Music Industry

Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely known as Skales, has issued a strong warning about the growing culture of beef and rivalry in the Nigerian music industry.

In a post shared on the popular microblogging platform, X(formerly Twitter), the 'Shake Body' crooner expressed concern that the constant promotion of conflict could eventually lead to loss of lives if not addressed.

Skales also reflected on his own journey, revealing that he has faced betrayal, lies, and accusations of jealousy from people he once considered allies. He noted that some individuals downplayed his greatness and pushed agendas against him when they gained the spotlight.

The singer, however, maintained that despite these challenges, his career in the music industry has clocked two decades, yet he remains relevant and shining.

He also attributed his resilience to God's mercy and the prayers his mother taught him.

He wrote:
"One day all this beef that y'all are promoting will cause the loss of lives in this Nigerian music industry… pls y'all better stop before it's too late… love is cheaper than hate so is respect."

"In this industry I was betrayed, lied upon, called a jealous person. People that I thought we were on the same team told many lies bout me because they got the spotlight and sold different agendas pushed to downplay my greatness."

"But this is 2 decades in and the boy is still shining and more relevant than ever…. No better help than God's mercy…. God bless my mom for teaching me how to pray."
