Recalling those early days, Skales explained that life was far from easy. His family would initially sleep on mats laid out on the floor before eventually moving into a BQ (Bachelors’ Quarters).
He added that growing up, he didn’t even have a television at home. It wasn’t until he was signed to Banky W’s record label, EME, that he got his first TV. Skales humorously recounted being fascinated by it, turning it on and off in sheer amazement.
“I’ve been through a lot. I come from Kaduna from a poor family. My mum was a teacher. I used to live in a hut before we moved to like BQ. A proper, we sleep on the floor with mats, and my mom would put wrapper on the floor.
So coming from that situation, to becoming who I am right now is crazy men. Sometimes I just look at it and I’m like that’s crazy. I never saw TV. The first time I saw TV was when EME signed me. Like to have my own TV in my room.”
