Skales: My experience being locked up in prison by a billionaire
In a recent interview with the media, the singer expressed that at some point, he got locked in prison when he had an issue with a certain billionaire, stating that the billionaire used his influence to collaborate with law enforcement in the arrest of Skales and his manager. Skales said once on the inside, he had to perform for the prisoners he met in the prison.
He was then asked to relate something insiders in the music business are completely ignorant about. The singer, in his response, said,
“One time, me and my manager were locked up. They locked us up for no reason. We had an issue with some billionaire and just because of power. Next thing, they arrested my manager and they told me to go home. And I said, never. How can you arrest my manager and tell me to go home? Like I followed them to the police station.
So while I was writing statements for my manager, they now told me that I have to sleep in the cell. So I slept in the cell and I performed in the cell. Because when I got in, one guy recognized me. And he told me that, you look like Skales. I was like, yeah. He was like, how come? What happened? Did you kill someone? I was like, no, I didn’t do it. And I explained what I did. He said, that’s how all these billionaires, even offered to help me more than him. I told him, no, no, no, no. Forget about it. That’s okay.
In that cell, he was like a boss. And from there, he had to take me to the real boss. Otherwise, the boys below would have some fun in messing me.
So, he walked me in front of the boss and told the boss that Skale here was the one with them listening to the last song. So, he mentioned all the names now, Oya Shake Body and Emergency. I was like, oh, that Emergency song. He now sang Genevieve for me. I said, yes, now you sing that song. He said, so now you perform for us. And when you perform, you sleep on mats because they were all sleeping on the floor.
When you perform, we’ll give you special place. And I performed, I sang the lyrics, I did everything shamelessly. And, you know, he gave me mats and he felt bad. He had genuine remorse. He said, this boy doesn’t deserve to be here. And yeah, they were nice to me.
So I sent a lot of food and gave them a thank you. So, that’s another incident that happened to me.
