Nigerian singer Skales has shared a heartfelt testimony about a major turnaround in his career, revealing how a viral moment involving Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal became a life-changing breakthrough for him in 2025.

The singer spoke during a testimony session at Harvesters Church, where he opened up about the spiritual journey that preceded his resurgence.

According to Skales, the year began with intense prayer and fasting, a period he described as the most spiritually demanding season he had ever experienced. During that time, he wrote down seven specific prayer points and committed them to God.

He testified that all seven prayers were answered in a single day.

Skales explained that the turning point came when a video surfaced online showing teenage football star Lamine Yamal dancing to his hit song “Shake Body.” The clip quickly went viral, reigniting interest in the song and drawing renewed attention to his music career.

The unexpected exposure sparked widespread reactions across social media and within the entertainment industry, leading to what Skales described as a career revival.

Following the viral moment, the singer received exclusive invitations to high-profile events, including Barcelona’s Copa del Rey celebration, where he performed. He also went on to release a tribute track titled “Dance Like Lamine Yamal.”

While addressing the congregation, Skales shared that he had prayed earnestly for restoration after feeling ridiculed and overlooked in the industry, adding that the viral dance video marked the moment everything changed.

The testimony has since inspired fans, many of whom described it as a powerful reminder of faith, patience, and unexpected breakthroughs.
