Skales Faces Backlash After Tweeting About Barcelona’s Loss: Fans Compare His Career to the Defeat
Nigerian singer Skales is receiving intense criticism on social media after he tweeted his thoughts on Barcelona’s Champions League defeat to Inter Milan. Following Barcelona’s heartbreaking 4-3 loss in extra time on May 6, 2025, which saw their Champions League campaign come to an end with an aggregate score of 7-6 in favor of Inter Milan, fans expressed their disappointment online. Skales, being a Barcelona fan, shared his reaction, but it quickly spiraled into widespread mockery.
In his tweet, Skales wrote:
“What a match … God is still God !!! All glory and praise to him in all circumstances.”
While the tweet was meant to reflect his faith and admiration for God despite the loss, it did not sit well with fans, who were quick to compare the defeat to Skales’ music career. Some of the responses humorously suggested that just like Barcelona, Skales had squandered opportunities in his career.
One comment sarcastically referenced how God gave Barcelona another chance to win but they failed, drawing a parallel to Skales’ music journey. The mention of Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal in Skales’ recent song also sparked further jokes about his career, with fans criticizing his longevity in the industry.
Some of the most notable reactions included:
- @Famous_999_: “Your music career is just like today’s game
God gave Barcelona a second chance and they didn’t use it well bro, it’s over for you.” - @Obaji_esq: “Better tell your producer to erase that Yamin Lamal side
.” - @timi_of_lagos: “At least Yamal has made you bigger than Wizkid this year
.” - @BenRmc_: “You better go wait for them inside the airplane or else you’ll walk to Spain.”
Others also had their share of playful digs, with comments like:
- @ItsNat3y: “Better tell your producer to delete that song.”
- @NuJhayhne: “No drop that nonsense if you don’t want Yamal to swear for you .”
The online backlash continued as fans didn’t hold back, throwing in jabs not only at his music but also at his personal life and career choices.
In another recent public outburst, Skales criticized Nigerian pastors, accusing them of brainwashing congregants with money-focused teachings instead of delivering biblical truths. His frustrations with both the music industry and the religious sector have drawn mixed reactions from fans.
