He said:

“That’s one mystery that I’ve not been able to solve like I don’t even know what my dad looks like. The only thing I can remember about my dad was the day he was leaving us. He came to kiss me on the forehead and I remembered he had a beard. But I can’t remember the other things because I was so young. I was like four or five years old.

“I have tried to ask my mum. But then, again, because I really love my mom and I hate when my mum is sad, I feel like, okay, it’s going to make her sad. I never asked.”

He said he regretted not asking his mum about the identity of his dad because she is now late.

Skales recounted how his mum did menial jobs to cater to him and train him through school.

He said he also worked hard as a kid to support his mother.
