Nigerian singer Skales is celebrating a major career boost as his decade-old hit song “Shake Body” enjoys a stunning resurgence in popularity.
The sudden revival is credited to Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, who was captured dancing to the track in a viral clip that reignited global interest in the song.
Reacting to the renewed fame, Skales expressed deep gratitude to God on his X handle, calling the moment a fresh start in his life and career.
He urged fans to let him enjoy the spotlight without comparing him to others in the industry, noting that growth and unity should be the ultimate goal.
Skales also called on his fellow artists and supporters to continue working together for greater achievements.
He wrote: “I feel like my life just restarted again … I’m nothing but a learner pls allow me to enjoy this moment without disrespecting anyone that has achieved way more than me … God is the greatest … let’s grow together yall”.
The “Shake Body” hitmaker recently had the opportunity to meet Lamine Yamal and his mother, following Barcelona’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey title at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla.
