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.

    1. 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#

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

  10. 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!!

  13. So the SKALES have finally fallen off BANKY W & EME's eyes...I always said that if Skales's Mukulu didn't blow as it should have, he might never get to blow...lol. Too bad tho, business is business.

  47. There's always sunshine after every rainstorm.. For skales, now's d storm. If u listen to his latest single 'very soon' you'll get to understand d niggaz feelings. From d very first day I heard 'heading for a grammy', I knew ds kid wz talented nd I've been following him keenly.. Itz jez a matter of tym. Keep ur head up holmes.

  51. One thing straight, u've got a gud voice, but u . in d wrong path of music, one of d bad tin is dat u try much to rhyme even wen its out of d rhythm (excessive rhyme makes music sound childish).. ur kind of rap doesn't fit in, in Nigeria... So u r neither a rapper as well, Why don't u try d kinda music like Dare-alade, Praiz, I think dat will b nice for u...

    ReplyDelete
  52. Skalez is actually a very talented rapper...just that his genre of music don't really appeal to the naija audience..

    ReplyDelete
  53. All I can say is good luck man. I believe this is a new beginning for you. Bigger u I pray

  54. Even with bomb on his body, he still couldn't blow. Horrible dress sense and stupid haircuts, it was only a matter of time.

  58. At last.. skales should try rebrand himself cos he lacks self esteem with h's rubbusih posts on instagram calling himself king...he. shld take a sit...he's jst not talented at all. n d worst. Part he's jst 2 proud...make he free music n start yahoo yahoo na d way forward for him

    ReplyDelete
  59. Skales shoud take a sit frome music @ least he has Bsc from leadcity make he go find bank work..if he doesn't get dt..make he jst use h's laptop n start fraud lowkey!!

  60. Finally EME wuld focus on a beta person...I respect skales bt dnt fink EME needs him

  61. He'll pull tru

    ReplyDelete
  62. Aside wizkid nd Banky..,who's better. Off him..I guess will be dropped soon...I like ur songs joor..Espacially 'take care of me'dem no know say u be star

    ReplyDelete
  63. First time libers are so easy with the comments. Skales is such an amazing artist, and am sure he would blow now that he has left eme. Banky has been holding him down, like in the case of psquare and mayd

  64. haba faa.... my skales... hes like the main dude in that group...hes going to still make it sha...

  68. I wish u d best in ur solo career Skales. Means it ws EME dat practicaly sent him away. Wat a pity

    ReplyDelete
  69. Its long overdue.. His carear that's barely started is already crashing. He left his original Rap to do RnB just to fit in with EME but it still didn't work. Better for him o even if I don't like him

    ReplyDelete
  70. Wishing him all the best. This should give him more courage to do well.

    ReplyDelete
  71. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I believe in Skales. Go after your dreams bro!

  73. He killed his career in EME. i wish him all the best.

    ReplyDelete
  74. 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. People lack morals

  86. 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

  87. 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

  92. EME signed him as a rapper but he want to copy whizkid ..that just is even if is rapping he would av blow..skales try to discover urself•••

    ReplyDelete

  93. 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!

  95. 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
