Nigerian music star Skales is currently basking in a major career resurgence, all thanks to a 17-year-old football prodigy, Lamine Yamal. After attending the intense El Clásico clash in Spain, where Barcelona triumphed over Real Madrid, Skales stayed back to celebrate with the squad, performing his classic hit “Shake Body” at the after-party.
The highlight of this incredible moment was Skales‘ heartfelt message to Yamal on Instagram, writing, “Thank you very much, Lamine Yamal. God bless you.” Yamal, a rising star for Barcelona, has been instrumental in breathing new life into Skales’ decade-old hit.
