Nigerian singer Skales recently opened up about his tough childhood growing up in Kaduna, revealing that he once lived in a humble hut with his late mother. Life was far from easy, as the family often slept on mats laid directly on the bare floor until they could move into a boys’ quarters. His mother, a teacher, did her best despite their modest means, making Skales’ rise even more remarkable.
Recounting his early days, Skales shared how he never had access to a television, something most people take for granted. It wasn’t until he signed with Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) that he saw a TV for the first time and marveled at having one in his own room. This humble beginning highlights the distance he has traveled in his journey to success.
Today, Skales stands as a testament to hard work and resilience, with his story serving as motivation for many aspiring artists. His journey from sleeping on mats to becoming a household name in the Nigerian music industry is a powerful reminder that humble beginnings can lead to extraordinary achievements.
