Timaya Loaned Me His Penthouse When He Found Out I Was Homeless – Skales (VIDEO)

Nigerian Afropop singer, Skales has revealed that dancehall star, Timaya broke down in tears when he learned of the challenges he was experiencing after leaving Empire Mates Entertainment (EME).

Skales recalled when he was rendered homeless after his contract with the record label expired and was not renewed.

According to the ‘Shake Body’ crooner, he had no place to stay and was forced to sleep in his Ford Explorer SUV.

Skales, while speaking in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, revealed that the only property in his possession then was his studio, clothing, and shoes.

He further disclosed that he continued working with Timaya, who was unaware of his predicament because he kept it hidden and lived his life regularly.

Skales said the ‘Plantain Boy’ crooner felt bad for not being able to figure out that he was homeless despite spending so much time together.

He said Timaya then permitted him to make use of his vacant penthouse for the time being. Skales said:

“Yes I was homeless. I wasn’t making money, as at that time, I wasn’t making money, it was only Banky and Wiz. I mean I was making money but it was not plenty. And I was also a young chap still trying to figure out life.

So I’m like, I don’t have guidance, I’m just in these streets by myself, really. Even though, as much as I hate to blame whatever mistakes on that, but really I didn’t have no guidance, I didn’t have much money, the house I was staying, they rented it, so when the deal was off, I had to leave.

You know, so I didn’t know what to do, I hit the streets and I’m not much of a going to be begging anybody for anything. Just still believed okay I have to keep going, I had just this Ford Explorer, my studio is my baby so I had my clothes, my shoes in the boot. I mean I didn’t have much because everything I had in the house was theirs. I could just drive to anybody’s house that’s my friend, anytime we finish work, I’ll always make sure I leave late.

“So after I finish doing work, which was mostly with Timaya, I’ll just go to my car and pass out, the next morning, I’ll probably pull up in the house like ‘Yo I want to use your bathroom, I only have my toothpaste and my brush then I’ll just go brush my teeth real quick. I was good vibes so everybody wanted me around you know. But only myself and one of my friends knew what I was going through but a lot of people didn’t know.

“So one day, Timaya found out and he actually cried, he felt so bad because I was always with them, I was always chilling, and he didn’t know what was going on. So when he found out, he was like, there’s this penthouse that he doesn’t use for anything, he now told me to move in there.”
