During the interview, Skales also admitted that Wizkid reciprocated by writing songs for him, notably the hit track ‘Mukulu.’

In his own words:

“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 pioneering artists signed to Empire Mates Entertainment, which was owned by R&B singer and music executive Banky W, in the early 2010s.

Eventually, both artists parted ways with the label following disagreements with Banky W. In an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu a few years back, Banky W revealed that Wizkid still owed the label three albums as per the original terms of his contract with EME.
