April 23, (THEWILL) – John Njeng-Njeng, aka Skales, has stated that Olamide Adedeji assisted him when he was once homeless.
The singer recounted his low moments while having an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
According to Skales, he went broke after leaving his record label, Empire Mates Entertainment, E.M.E, which was headed by Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, then.
Though his contract with the label had ended, they refused to renew it because he wasn’t doing well for the label.
Skales revealed that he became homeless and broke after that, but a call from Olamide changed his life.
At that time, he had released his hit song, ‘Shake Body’, and Olamide, who liked the song reached out to him to inquire when he was releasing the video.
He explained his situation to Olamide and he sent him money for the music video which became a hit and marked the beginning of a turnaround for him.
“My deal with them was done and they refused to continue because I wasn’t doing well at that time.
“Olamide contacted me and said he loved one of my songs, ‘Shake Body’, and asked if I wasn’t going to shoot the video.
“I told him I was homeless and couldn’t possibly shoot a video and he sent me money. My God turned my life around after that video shoot”, he stated.
