Skales mentioned that Wizkid never liked him.
In a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Nigerian singer Skales made headlines by revealing his longstanding belief that fellow artist and former record label mate Wizkid has never liked him. Skales recounted feelings of repulsion he has perceived from the ‘Starboy’ over the years, particularly highlighting a notable fallout on social media.
The singer reminisced about a past incident during a Twitter question-and-answer session, where he jokingly remarked about Wizkid’s apparent disinterest in their friendship. This seemingly innocuous comment prompted a barrage of insults from Wizkid, targeting not only Skales but also his family. Skales noted that this reaction indicated a deeper animosity, stating, “I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me.”
Despite his attempts to reconcile, Skales expressed a sense of resignation, suggesting that Wizkid’s disdain is evident and unyielding. He reflected on the public perception that often accompanies such disputes, acknowledging that any defense of his character would likely be dismissed as jealousy of Wizkid’s success.
This revelation adds another layer to the complex dynamics within the Nigerian music industry, where rivalries and personal conflicts often play out in the public eye. As Skales continues to navigate his career, this candid admission raises questions about the nature of relationships among artists and the impact of social media on personal interactions.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.

His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
