The resurgence of ‘Shake Body’ gained momentum after a video went viral showing Spanish football stars Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Samu Omorodion dancing to the track.
This moment occurred following Barcelona’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla over the weekend.
Adding to the excitement, Skales had the opportunity to meet Lamine Yamal in person after the match. He also had the pleasure of meeting the rising star’s mother.
The unexpected viral moment has brought Skales’ 2015 hit back into the spotlight, introducing it to a new generation of fans and reigniting its popularity among long-time listeners.
