Skales Breaks Silence on Viral Divorce Claim
Nigerian singer and rapper John Njenga-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has responded to a viral report suggesting that he divorced his wife, Precious Hassanity, for allegedly mocking his music career. The artist has strongly refuted the claims, calling them “false” and “unfair.”
Viral Claim Sparked by Social Media Post
The controversy stemmed from a post shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user, @Verity_HQ, who alleged that Skales admitted to divorcing Precious because she publicly mocked his music career.
According to the now-viral post:
“I d!vorced my wife because of a comment she made on my post and I don’t rêgret it,” the user claimed Skales said. “When my wife made the comment on my post, I got ãngry. People cannot be m0cking your husband’s music career, the music that is paying your bills, and you join them to m0ck him.
She should’ve defended me or, better still, stayed quiet. I wasn’t totally wr0ng for dîvorcing her because a woman who doesn’t support your hustle isn’t a good wife.”
Skales Responds: “This Is False and Evil”
Reacting to the post, Skales took to social media to categorically deny making the statement.
“This is really evil of you that you would cook up such a story. This is not fair. I have never made such a statement and this is false. Please stop spreading lies,” he wrote.
Skales labeled the report as an intentional act of misinformation, warning the blogger to cease spreading baseless claims.
Background: Marital Issues and Past Tensions
Skales married chef Precious Hassanity in September 2021. However, in November 2022, he released a snippet of an unreleased track that many interpreted as a diss aimed at his wife. In the song, he called her unprintable names and alleged she could have saved his late mother, Martina Aiyewa, but failed to do so.
Following the loss of his mother, Skales posted a cryptic message on social media that hinted at turmoil in his marriage:
“In all you do, make sure you don’t marry a heartless person. Pray for my mental health.”
No Public Confirmation of Divorce
Despite the speculation and online reports, Skales has not publicly confirmed a legal separation or divorce from his wife. The current controversy appears to be fueled by online gossip rather than verified information.
Conclusion
While Skales has had public marital challenges in the past, he has made it clear that he did not divorce his wife for mocking his music career. The singer’s firm denial serves as a reminder to verify claims before spreading them online.
