Barcelona wonderkid, Lamine Yamal, has stunned fans worldwide after reportedly convincing Adidas to pay Nigerian singer, Skales, and feature his hit track “Shake Body” in the company’s new boot launch campaign.
According to reports, Skales earned millions from the deal, with his song experiencing a massive resurgence in streams after clips of Yamal dancing to it went viral online.
The development marks a turning point for Skales, who had faced years of struggle in the music industry. One excited fan captured the mood, saying:
“Yamal didn’t just give vibes -he gave Skales a whole new life.”
Since the campaign, Skales’ career has taken a new trajectory. He has been performing across Europe and America, while his Spotify numbers continue to rise daily. Barcelona also reportedly invited him to dinner with the first team squad, further cementing the boost Yamal’s influence has brought.
Industry watchers say the collaboration is another sign of Afrobeats’ growing global impact, with unexpected moments catapulting Nigerian artists into the international spotlight.
