Skales reacts to Barcelona’s Champions League exit
Nigerian singer and songwriter Skales has shared a message of faith and gratitude following Barcelona’s dramatic Champions League exit, which unexpectedly saw his name dragged into the conversation by fans online.
After the Spanish giants suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 aggregate defeat to Inter Milan, the Shake Body hitmaker took to his X page to post a reflective message. Reacting to Barcelona’s Champions League exit, Skales wrote: “What a match… God is still God!!! All glory and praise to him in all circumstances.”
His post came shortly after the intense semi-final clash at the Giuseppe Meazza, where a last-gasp winner in extra time shattered Barcelona’s hopes of a final appearance. While emotions ran high among fans, Skales chose to stay positive, offering words of gratitude regardless of the outcome.
The singer, who recently went viral when Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal danced to his 2014 hit Shake Body during Copa del Rey celebrations, had also released a new track, Dance Like Lamine Yamal, on May 5, 2025, just a day before Barcelona’s elimination.
Though some Barcelona fans humorously pointed fingers at Skales, linking the team’s misfortune to the timing of his celebratory release, the artist kept his reaction grounded in faith, focusing on giving thanks and embracing life’s ups and downs.
As conversations continue online, Skales’ composed response has earned him praise from followers for maintaining positivity in the face of internet banter.
