Nigerian singer Skales has shared a heartfelt testimony about a major turning point in his career, revealing how a viral moment involving Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal transformed his fortunes in 2025.
The artist made the revelation while speaking at Harvesters Church, where he recounted a deeply spiritual period at the start of the year marked by intense prayer and fasting. According to Skales, it was the most demanding spiritual season he had ever experienced.
He explained that he wrote down seven specific prayer points, trusting God for a breakthrough at a time when his career was being mocked and overlooked. Remarkably, he said all seven prayers were answered in a single day.
Skales attributed the breakthrough to a viral video of teenage football star Lamine Yamal dancing to his 2015 hit song, “Shake Body.” The clip spread rapidly across social media, reigniting public interest in the song and introducing it to a new global audience.
The renewed attention sparked a resurgence in Skales’ career, leading to increased streams, widespread media attention, and high-profile invitations. Notably, he was invited to perform at Barcelona-related events, including celebrations following the Copa del Rey, and later released a tribute track titled “Dance Like Lamine Yamal.”
Sharing his testimony, Skales said the viral moment changed his life, describing it as a divine answer to prayers offered during a difficult period in his career.
The episode has since drawn widespread reactions from fans and industry observers, with many praising the unexpected intersection of music, football, and faith that led to the artist’s renewed success.
