Raoul Njeng-Njeng, the Nigerian singer popularly known as Skales, has attributed his career success to a prayer he offered at the Shiloh program of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, in 2013.
According to Skales via the microblogging platform X on Thursday, he had been experiencing career stagnation after his contract with Banky W’s Empire Mate Entertainment, EME, expired.
He noted that he got his biggest hit, ‘Shake Body’, after his colleague, Timaya, took him to Shiloh.
He explained that they were asked to write down seven things they want God to do for them, and he wrote that he desired a global hit song, seven times.
Skales said he believes his 2015 hit song ‘Shake Body’, which recently resurfaced as a global hit after Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and some of his teammates danced to it, was the fulfillment of his prayer.
On his X handle, the singer wrote, “In 2013 @timayatimaya took me to Shiloh and we were told to write down 7 things we are praying for and I wrote a song that will take me to the ends of the world 7 times … fast forward till today he gave me a divine unending song … when they think it’s over another thing pops up about this damn song… Lord Jesus, thank you.”
