US based Nigerian artiste, Kelvin Sean has taken to Instagram to
call out Skales and Samklef, accusing them of allegedly ‘duping’ him,
being ungrateful and wicked.
He released screenshots of his Whatsapp chats with Skales and bitterly wrote;
‘Humans
can be really ungrateful and truly wicked. This is Skales; Nigerian
afrobeats artist. I called him out on his page for being a fake nigga
and he blocks me.
Here is the background story: In and around
February 2014, i flew to Lagos from Toronto, to work on my music. This
was just shortly after skales was dropped by EME, we met and worked on a
song together (my song tittled “Down Low” produced by Samklef). Skales
was paid for the feature. He was also really impressed with my style.
Mind you this studio session took place at a hotel in Lekki Phase 1’.
‘The
next afternoon, i went back to the hotel to grab the mix of the track
from Samklef. On getting to the hotel, Skales approached me. We went
into his hotel room; where there were a few producers, Including popular
producers Jay Pizzle and Kenny Wonder. Going from the vybz from the
previous night’s studio session, Skales played me the beat to “Shake
body”.
At that point, he had already recorded the first verse (the
english part of the song). He told me he was stuck and wanted me to
vibe to it. I listened to the beat and wrote the French “Faro Faro”
infused stlye lyrics to the song, with the exact flows he used to record
the actual final mix of the song. Knowing fully well what he was going
through at the time; being dropped from EME and just doing his thing at
the time, i encouraged him and told him “Shake body” was the hit that
would finally break him to the world. I didn’t know Skales for more than
a day at that point’.
‘I didnt ask him for money. I
didn’t even ask him for credit. Instead i offered him my friendship. A
friendship he was always fake about. He even coluded with Samklef to
Scam me off 1.2million naira in 2014. Samklef told me he was going to
contract the video Shoot for the Song in which i featured Skales
to @unlimitedla.
I paid him the sum total of N1.2 million all cost
included. On the day of the shoot, Samklef told me he was going to
direct the video himself, and that Unlimited LA wasn’t available to
direct the video shoot. Reluctantly, i agreed to it. And the end result
was a video i turned down; due to it being very much below standard. I
asked for my refund Samklef wrote me a bounced cheque and till date
hasn’t refunded my N1.2 million. Skales says i just became his enemy,
but in truth he never treated me as a friend. Always on that fakeness’.
‘Truth
be told, only real recognize real. Why did i decide to speak up? As you
can see from Skales’ responses in our chat on WhatsApp, he believes I
dont have a voice; however, I’m no pushover. On a normal day Skales
ain’t on my level. Let it be known today that all cards will be
counted’.
