Must Read: Why Banky W, Wizkid Didn't Feature on Skales Album

 

Kaduna-born Skales, who used to be signed on to Banky W's Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) Record Label, has revealed how Banky and his best friend, Wizkid, deliberately avoided featuring on his 22-tracker album, 'Man of the Year', which was released last week.

Although Wizkid's non-appearance did not come as a surprise following their public spat on Twitter, which made headlines some few months ago, Banky W's was unexpected considering the fact Skales once used to be his protege.

While trying to explain this development, Skales' management team revealed in an interview that the main reason Wizkid and Banky W were not on the album was because they had difficulties in choosing tracks to be included in the album.

"He had over hundred songs and it was quite difficult for his management to pick which should go in his album", his management team said.

However, a reliable source told PUNCH Newspapers that Banky W and Wizkid do not consider Skales 'friend' enough to want to feature on his first highly-acclaimed album.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity said Skales was the one always trying to put in effort towards maintaining a cordial relationship with both parties.

"There are 22 tracks on the album. Skales really wanted Banky W to be on the album but I don't think Banky W recorded his part of the song to feature in the album. Skales sent Banky W the song he wanted him to feature in but there was no response from Banky W's camp till date. As for Wizkid, not being on the album was the genesis of the fight they had on twitter. It was learnt that Skales became frustrated and snapped when Wizkid kept postponing recording his part of the song. To be honest, the two are acting as if they do not have time for Skales but they have forgotten the story of the stone that was rejected and later became the cornerstone. Without them on his album, there are still a lot of hit songs on it. He featured some of Africa's best on the album and I am sure it would be a success", the source squealed.
