Skales who was reportedly arrested alongside his manager Osagie, were accused of committing fraud against his record label, Baseline Records. The duo were accused of also diverting the funds meant for the record label. According to an insider who is identified as Wale Ewedemi, the duo had confessed to taking over 10million Naira from the label.

Here’s what he said: “Skales and His Manager Osagie have been remanded in Police Custody after confessing to various charges of fraud and diversion of Baseline Records funds.They are currently assisting the Police in unraveling the extent of the fraud. Running into tens of millions of naira.

At the inception of the contract, he was given a fully furnished luxury apartment in Lekki in a gated estate, with a brand new customized SUV. And a multi-million Naira sign on Fee. The record label also gave him a free hand to select and run his brand, supported by a multi million Naira corporate expense account. Skales behavior has reduced the appetite of the Record label to assist other young talents to achieve their full potential.”

Here’s what popular OAP Daddy Freeze of CoolFM Lagos, had to say on the issue:

“@kaylahoniwo and I talked about this on @coolfmlagos today on the #RoadShow. Many of these artistes are from the hood. One small hit and they upgrade their transportation from Marwa and Molue to a 2006 Range Rover or G wagon with 2014 body kit, then they upgrade their housing from mushin or Aj city to LEKKI phase one…. But the problem is they don’t upgrade their minds!!! They do business with intelligent and witty entrepreneurs while using their ‘Molue mentality’, not realizing that a contract is a contract and GRA-GRA cannot break it!
