He, however, admitted that Wizkid also wrote songs for him, including the hit ‘Mukulu.’

He 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.”

Wizkid and Skales were among the early artists signed to EME by R&B star and music executive, Banky W, in the early 2010s.

The record label played a pivotal role in launching their careers. However, both artists eventually parted ways with EME following a series of disputes with Banky W.

In a past interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Banky W disclosed that, under his original contract, Wizkid still owed the label three albums.
