He asks them to look into it.
Nigerian artiste Skales has voiced his frustration with the Nigerian police, criticising the excessive number of checkpoints on the roads, particularly on Orchid Road.
On October 28, 2024, the singer took to X to express his disdain for the police and what he described as their abuse of power and their treatment of the public, stressing that he hates them.
He wrote, “My hate for Nigerian police still stands…very horrible set of humans … police wey no get money go dey stress fellow poor man knowing fully well what their doing is wrong… knowing fully well that they are just taking advantage of power given to them.”
He continued, “e be like say na how to stop Benz them dey teach dem sef.. they just mount for orchid road shamelessly stressing youths to end up begging for money.. no honour at all useless people.”
Pointing out the numerous checkpoints on Orchid road specifically, he accused the police of profiling luxury car drivers and intentionally targeting them to beg for money.
“Like @NigeriapolicePR… why do you have like all your policemen on orchid road like kilode … they can’t do me shit cos I’m no criminal but it’s that legal to have like 3 to 4 check points just 2 minutes drive away from each other … all they do is stop Benz and ask very stupid questions and when they don’t get wat they want na either insults or begging for money … look into it o cos now I go just dey wear camera for body they post everything online … its super annoying,” he wrote.

Following an exciting 2024 with the release of his stellar two-pack project ‘Adenuga x Concerning’ and The Lavida Experience concert in Lagos, Nigerian hitmaker, Joeboy is gearing up to shake up 2025 as well starting with his single, ‘SMH’.
The release also coincides with the first anniversary of the artist’s record label, Young Legend.
‘SMH’ sits as one of Joeboy’s most ambitious attempts yet. It samples ‘Neela Nilave’ (a Tamil song from the album “Mandhera Vasal”) backed by an intricate bounce and wispy production by longtime collaborator, Tempoe (“Sip (Alcohol)”, “Don’t Call Me Back”, “Better”).
On the mid-tempo number, Joeboy enters a contemplative head space as he delivers soulful vocals while directly addressing his love interest on the pitfalls of their relationship.
Speaking on the track, he said, “There’s a certain clarity of mind that hits you when you finally understand that not all relationships are supposed to last forever. Some are better as phases with lessons to learn. Simple as. Whatever seems to be missing no matter how hard you try is missing for a reason.”
With ‘SMH’, Joeboy continues to showcase his abilities as an artist and businessman of international repute with limitless drive and inspiration.
2025 has gotten off to an eventful start for Joeboy who recently launched his foundation aimed at assisting underserved communities.
The song comes ahead of Joeboy’s upcoming third album titled ‘Lavida Boy’ set for release later in 2024.

The rapper took to X, formerly Twitter, to address the criticism about his wife Bianca Censori’s fashion choices, particularly her red carpet look at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

He debunked the notion that he forced her to wear the naked dress on the red carpet while adding that she wouldn’t have worn it without his say-so.
PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESN’T WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID ASS WOKE PAWNS. I HAVE NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY FOR ANYONE LIVING CAUSE NO ONE LIVING CAN FUCK WITH ME BUT I DO LOVE SOME PEOPLE AND I GIVE THEM FAVOR.”
