Pure Fire!” – Skales Praises Speed Darlington’s Diss Track on Burna Boy

 

Singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, recently weighed in on Speed Darlington’s diss track, “Baby Oil,” released after Burna Boy helped secure his release from police custody.

In a post on X, Skales called the diss track a “hit” and mentioned that it reminded him of Tupac’s iconic “Hit Em Up.” This statement drew attention due to the rocky relationship between Speed Darlington and Burna Boy, marked by previous incidents. Speed Darlington had accused Burna Boy of being involved with American rapper Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, and questioned how many bottles of baby oil P. Diddy might have used on him.

 Following Speed Darlington’s controversial diss track, Burna Boy filed a police report, leading to Darlington’s arrest. After his release, he apologized, though the incident left fans divided. Many supporters of Burna Boy saw Skales’ praise of the diss track as an attempt to provoke Burna Boy, viewing it as disrespectful given Burna Boy’s positive impact on Skales’ career.
