When music critic, Editor of Pulse.NG and co-host of the hugely popular Loose Talk podcast – Osagie Alonge called out Skales for seemingly copying Olamide in his new music video, he must have thought people will join in trolling the young crooner.

But for the first time ever, rather than mock him, people came to the defense of the artiste who is usually the butt of many online jokes.
This is a testament to how Nigerians value resilience and hardwork – features no one can argue Skales embodies. It is really really beautiful to watch Nigerians defend him for a change, and starting with his response, we have curated some of the best tweets.

Shine on Skales, you are indeed the Never-Say-Never guy!!
Enjoy, share.
#Skales' parents did a great done building up his self esteem & confidence. His best decision was never allowing the bile & slander from internet trolls get to him. He's doing so well for himself. He's one of the most travelled African Artists this year with gigs around the world

Skales is stronger than u think. Dude survived trolls on Twitter NG for years and still thrived. Osagz chose to choke on the wrong bone.

Osagie missed the part where Skales wore clothing in his video because Olamide wore clothes too

Osagz would have won that arguement in 2012, but the whole town wants Skales to win in 2017, they won't have that

Skales is winning now despite all the shit life threw at him.
Can't help but like the guy.

Skales is a very easy target for criticism. And it's usually unfair criticism.

Hard work pays @youngskales. More blessing and thanks for those words today 🙏🏼
