"Bank Nightmare - Skales Slams GTBank, Shares Mother's Troubling Account"
Skales, the renowned Nigerian singer, isn't holding back his feelings about Guarantee Trust Bank (GTBank) following the arrest of social media critic, Vincent Martins, popularly known as VDM. According to our sources, VDM's arrest occurred during a kerfuffle over funds being deducted from his mother's account at the same bank.
In a series of tweets on May 4, 2025, Skales unleashed his discontentment, dubbing GTBank as the absolute pits of Nigerian banks. He shared his regrets about his late mother's similar struggle with fund deductions from her salary account.
"GTB @gtbank, you're a God-awful bank... the crappiest bank in Nigeria, I'd tell my late mom all about the hell you put her through with her salary... her money disappearing, and I'd have to cover for you, cos she wouldn't let go of her job till retirement," he tweeted.
The ongoing outrage over VDM's arrest has sent shockwaves among many Nigerians. In a turn of events, a Catholic priest, Father Mazi Uc, pulled out his hard-earned cash from GTBank in solidarity with VDM. Although this move sparked controversy, some applauded the priest for standing up for what he believed in.
Meanwhile, Skales has taken to social media once more, this time to vent about betrayals he claims to have encountered in the music industry. Negative experiences with certain artistes have left Skales disillusioned. According to our sources, the 'Shake Body' hitmaker is gearing up to divulge his troubles in the music scene in the near future.
"Being betrayed by folks in the music industry, but Gucci God got my back. Can't wait to share my story on that," Skales hinted in a tweet on May 6, 2025.
In the music industry, Skales has notably gone from being a rising start to a seasoned player, but it seems things haven't always gone as smoothly as they seemed. As the singer reflects on his journey, his late mother's advice of trusting and praying to God remains a guiding light for him.
