I Do Not Even Know How My Father Looks Like

Nigerian rapper Cvm singer Skales has not always had it all good from day one. The “Temper” crooner has had his own share
of a rough childhood.

In a recent interview with Saturday Beats Skales who last year built his mother a house, reflected on his not so nice
childhood memories, the struggles and how he managed to survive the ordeal.

Interestingly, Skales spoke of having no memory of who is father is.
“My father left us when I was really young; I do not even know how he looks like. My mother and I used to sleep in a shopping
complex at a time. I am talking about during my primary and secondary school days in Kaduna. Then, the only hope for me was music. At some point, I told my mother I wanted to work and support her. I was chased out of school because I did not pay school fees. I had to steal school uniform because mine was bad and I would tell my mother I saved money for it.

“Also, my mother would go to my friends’ houses to do their laundry, which was embarrassing to me. I had to deny my mother. I also did not let my friends know
where I lived because most of them were children of politicians. When I told my mother I was moving to Lagos, she asked me to finish my university education in
Kaduna. But I convinced her I could cope.
From Kaduna to Lagos, I got a free ride and the first place I stayed was Orile (Lagos). I lied to the person that gave me free ride
that I would stay with him for a couple of days and it turned to months. He later started a label with some friends; they knew some people but it was not easy.”
During the chat, Skales debunked any rumours of having a kid outside wedlock.

However, he said he intends to get married in the next ten years.
“No, I do not have any baby mama. I do not live a reckless life. I am a lover boy, I stick to a woman. But now, I am more focused on how to take my career to the next level.

Everybody knows I am a very cool person. I just wake up and see stories I do not know about. There was a time I woke up and heard that a lady was pregnant for me. But the person did not show herself even when we sent out messages to the source.”
