Popular Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has opened up about his songwriting contributions to his former labelmate, Wizkid, during their time at Empire Mates Entertainment (EME).
In a recent appearance on the show Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Skales disclosed that he co-wrote several hit songs for Wizkid, including tracks from Wizkid’s debut album Superstar. Notably, he claimed to have co-written the bonus track “Wiz Party.”
Reflecting on their collaboration, Skales said, “Back in EME, we were a team, so we used to write songs for each other. I wrote songs for Wizkid. He also wrote songs for me, too. He wrote ‘Mukulu’ for me, and I wrote his song ‘Wiz Party.’ As I said, EME was a collective, so we did teamwork.”

Skales and Wizkid were two of the first artists signed by EME’s founder, R&B star and music executive Banky W, in the early 2010s.
The label played a pivotal role in launching their careers into stardom. However, both singers eventually parted ways with EME after internal disagreements.
Years later, in an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Banky W revealed that based on Wizkid’s initial contract, the star still owed EME three albums before his departure. Despite the past tensions, the duo’s contributions to each other’s success remain significant.
