Where Is Skee-Lo Now? The Rapper Behind “I Wish”: Explained

Skee-Lo’s “I Wish” was more than a hit — it was a moment.
A Gold record. A Top 20 Billboard single. Grammy nominations.
And then… silence.

In this segment of Where Are They Now?, I'm breaking down what really happened to Skee-Lo — from the massive success of “I Wish,” to industry conflicts, contract issues, and the quiet decision to step away from the spotlight instead of being owned by it.

This isn’t a lazy one-hit-wonder story.
It’s a real conversation about hip-hop, timing, ownership, and choosing peace over fame.

Was Skee-Lo forgotten…or did he walk away on purpose? Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.
