Skales Claims Influence in Burna Boy’s Success.
In a recent interview, Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely known as Skales, made a bold assertion regarding his impact on the career of his fellow artist, Burna Boy. He reminisced about the early stages of Burna Boy’s journey, suggesting that the collaboration on the ‘Temper Remix’ in 2017 played a pivotal role in setting the latter on the path to success.
Skales noted that before this collaboration, Burna Boy had not yet achieved a significant hit song. His remarks not only highlight the importance of mutual encouragement within the music industry but also underscore the shared influence that artists can have on one another’s careers. “I inspired Burna Boy. He will agree with me,” Skales stated, emphasizing the essence of admiration and collaboration in fostering talent.
In an intriguing juxtaposition, Burna Boy subsequently shared his own reflections on success, revealing that he is now wealthier than many politicians and business magnates he once looked up to. Through social media, he encouraged his followers not to underestimate the potential of younger individuals, reflecting on how the music industry has emerged as a lucrative path where previous norms have shifted.
This dialogue between the two artists illustrates a dynamic and evolving music scene in Nigeria. As they acknowledge each other’s contributions, they also serve as reminders of the communal spirit embedded in the creative industries.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
