Skales leaves EME

It's confirmed. Skales (pictured beside Banky W) has parted ways with Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) after over 3 years with the label. There was no fight, disagreement or any drama like that, the label just didn't renew his contract after the one they had with him expired in January 2014.

Skales has removed EME from all his social media accounts and is planning to manage his music career himself with the help of management company, M.et.al Management, going forward.

      Every1 forgot that Banky himself started rough, not as a superstar he is today. Pls stop devaluing, discouraging, and telling some1 he wont make when ua not God and u dont even know what the future holds for u. im not personally skale music, but i wish him goodluck in his pursuit. #tought#

    So it's the record label that actually dropped him. He's probably not meeting up to expectation.

    I understand if EME doesn't renew the contract they had with skales..truth be told;no company on this planet earth would like to make any expense where there is no return..take wizkid for example;when he left EmE it was actually shoken.but talking about skales(don't know if he is a rapper or singer) one can actually tell he hasn't made much return for EmE..soo I think any decision made by EME is quite owkay and renewing the contract they had with skales is totally up to them..i wish skales all the best in his carrier tho!!

    Skales is dope. He is better than a lot of this artists. Take care of me, denge pose, mukulu, very soon etc. Are very very good songs. They just do not package or promote him enough, which is quite sad. Or maybe he lacks the star factor ? Anyway, Skales go and surprise everyone who has labelled you negatively, work extra extra hard now and surprise them all. I belive in you.

    Good for him...Nigerian record labels focuses on just one artiste and leave d rest on their label to keep waiting till its time to promote their stuff which is not fair. They kill talents by focusing on one artiste,dis brings psychological effect on d rest...they shld learn frm Swizz beats,Timbaland,Dr.dre all dis guys put their artiste out der and promote them equally, same luv eminem got,50cent got it too frm dr.dre and also the game and now kendrick lamar shares dat same love from Aftermath label...skales do ur thing cos its dope. I wonder why we keep listening to wack songs in naija witout meaning,some witout substance,some witout good lyrical content etc and we give those song props cos of yansh and boobs.

    I actually think he's a talented musician (rap and singing wise) but as it is with pple in this country, they rather listen o the garbage pple like d'banj sing than appreciate actual talent

    Let me call it how I see it from the comments. It seems to me Skales is a good guy but isn't talented. Therefore no one can insult him .
    Skales much respect and pls pray for directiom

    Skale-Ewu.
    Banky will regret this move tho cos the boy will shake the industry big time now. He'll be more motivated to make it than never before.

    If skales was under my label, i wouldnt renew his contract either...c'mon he doesnt av any major hit! His rap is whack .... Mukulu was overhyped .... No hating...Hes trying , at least better than D'prince of mavin, but hes not an " A List" artiste ...Gba!

    Wow, skales was heading for a grammy but ended up in the grainy dirt. He was so talented, I mean listen to 'must shine' and some of his old ish but trying for that commercial appeal jst didn't work for him. Skales got his ass skelewued out of eme after banky don bang am finnish. Wizkid was his catalyst but now #bad market. Join starboy
