I Became Homeless, Slept In My Car For Months After I Left Banky W’s Record Label

Renowned musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, famously recognized as Skales, has unveiled a remarkable chapter of his life where he encountered homelessness and resorted to sleeping in his car.

This challenging phase emerged after Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), the record label he was associated with, chose not to renew his recording contract, leading to his eviction from their accommodation.

Skales candidly shared that following his departure from the record label owned by Banky W, he found himself in a dire financial situation and contemplated the possibility of relocating to another country. However, destiny had a different plan for him. T

he turning point arrived with his track 'Shake Body,' which experienced an unexpected surge in popularity and transformed his life forever.

He said, “When I left EME, I had nothing. Everything just ended in one day. I went from enjoying a luxurious life to sleeping in the car. As soon as my deal ended, I lost the house, they [EME management] told me to leave the house immediately.

“All I had was one car, a Ford Explorer. And I was sleeping inside the car for a long time. Little did I know that I had a song that was going to change my life on my flash drive. So months later, I just put out the song [‘Shake Body’]. I didn’t have any promo money, nothing. I just uploaded it on Soundcloud. And it was just a wildfire. It was crazy. I didn’t even know the song was big. I believed, but I gave up because I was trying to japa [relocate abroad]. Then I got a call from Harry Tee, God rest his soul. That was how my life changed”, he continued.
