Nigerian rapper and singer Raoul Nkeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has revealed how his 2015 hit track “Shake Body” came to him as a divine blessing after attending a Christian program in 2013.
In a post that recently went viral, Skales recounted that he had attended the popular Shiloh event, reportedly organized by Bishop David Oyedepo’s Winners Chapel, alongside fellow artiste Timaya.
He explained that participants at the program were instructed to write down seven prayer requests. Skales said his top request was for a song that would make global impact.
According to him, that prayer was answered with “Shake Body”, a song he described as a divine and timeless gift from God.
“In 2013 @timayatimaya took me to Shiloh and we were told to write down 7 things we are praying for and I wrote a song that will take me to the ends of the world 7 times … fast forward till today he gave me a divine unending song … when they think it’s over another thing pops up about this dam song … LORD JESUS THANK YOU,” he wrote.
