Nigerian singer and rapper Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, is overwhelmed with joy after his hit song “Shake Body” received recognition from Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal.
A viral video circulating on social media shows the Barcelona and Spain forward dancing with his teammates to Skales’ 2014 hit track. The clip features Yamal, alongside Nico Williams and Samu Aghehowa, vibing enthusiastically to the song in a lively atmosphere.
Originally released on May 6, 2014, as the lead single from his debut album Man of the Year, “Shake Body” became an instant hit. Now, a decade later, 17-year-old Yamal—who was only seven when the song first dropped—has brought it back into the spotlight. The young football sensation even shared the track via the Insta-stories section of his verified Instagram account, which boasts 27.5 million followers.
The moment has sparked excitement online, with popular blogger Tunde Ednut highlighting the power of grace, noting that Skales—despite facing challenges in recent years—has found his music unexpectedly resurfacing on a global stage.
The blogger wrote; “Wow, can you see Grace? Do you see how a song can travel? This song might be old in Nigeria, cause it was released about 10 years ago, but Yamal has revived it. Now, the song is gaining popularity in Spain 🇪🇸 because Yamal Lamine has been consistently posting and dancing to it on TikTok and Instagram. @skales must be proud. Big up my brother. You created a classic. ❤️❤️❤️.”
Reacting to Tunde Ednut post, Skales wrote; “He has raised my price in Europe… thank you @lamineyamal for letting God use to bless me … thank you @mazitundeednut for gingering me to drop this song when I was homeless.”
