Burna Boy Is Nobody’s Mate, Respect Him – Skales

Afrobeats singer Skales has defended Burna Boy, urging fans and followers to respect the Grammy-winning artist’s name and reputation.

He expressed frustration over the spread of false information and misquotes attributed to Burna Boy, emphasising that people should be more mindful and responsible in online discourse.

Skales clarified that Burna Boy does not fraternise with anyone, including him, and shouldn’t be referred to casually or familiarly.

He implored people to leave Burna Boy alone and not perpetuate fabricated stories or quotes.

Skales said: “Pls and please put some respect on Burna’s name … Burna is not anybody’s mate, including me … I’ve been seeing some b.s fly around that is made up. Burna never said that … leave that man alone. Much respect to Odg.”

Recall that Skales had claimed to have inspired Burna Boy, stating that their collaboration on “Temper Remix” helped boost Burna Boy’s career.

According to Skales, Burna Boy didn’t have a hit song before the remix, and after working together, Burna Boy’s career took off.

Skales acknowledges that Burna Boy’s success is his own but believes they inspired each other.
