A decade after its release, Nigerian singer Skales’ hit song “Shake Body” has experienced a resurgence in popularity, thanks to Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal’s viral dance. The song, which had long been a staple of Nigerian music, has once again taken center stage, rejuvenating Skales’ career in the process.
Skales attributes his renewed vitality to the unexpected revival of his song. “My life has been rejuvenated,” he exclaimed, expressing gratitude to God for the surprise success. The singer’s joy is palpable as he basks in the renewed attention, but he also seeks understanding from his fans. “I appeal to my fans to allow me enjoy this moment without comparisons,” he humbly requests.

On his X handle, he wrote, “I feel like my life just restarted again … I’m nothing but a learner pls allow me to enjoy this moment without disrespecting anyone that has achieved way more than me … God is the greatest … let’s grow together yall.”
Recall that Skales recently met with Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and his mother over the weekend, following Barcelona’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey title match at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla.
This meeting comes after Yamal’s viral dance to Skales’ 2015 hit song “Shake Body” sparked a renewed interest in the track. The song’s popularity soared after Yamal, along with teammates Nico Williams and Samu Omorodion, were caught dancing to the infectious beat.
The viral moment has not only introduced Skales’ music to a new audience but has also reignited his passion for music. Skales expressed gratitude for the unexpected success, crediting God for the renewed attention.
