Nigerian singer John Njenga-Njeng, aka Skales, has debunked a viral report claiming he divorced his wife, Precious Hassanity, for mocking his career.
An X user, @Verity_HQ, had alleged that Skales said he divorced Precious after she joined trolls in mocking his career on social media.
The user wrote:
“I d!vorced my wife because of a comment she made on my post and I don’t rêgret it,” singer Skales reportedly 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.”
Reacting, Skales said he never made such a statement and described the report as “false.”
He warned the blogger to stop spreading lies, labeling the report “evil and unfair.”
The singer wrote: “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.”
Recall that Skales, who married Precious Hassanity, a chef, in September 2021, shared snippets of an unreleased track in November 2022 that sounded more like a diss track targeted at his wife, calling her unprintable names.
According to the lyrics of the song, the rapper claimed that his wife could have saved his mother, Martina Aiyewa, who died weeks earlier, but did not.
Following his mother’s demise, Skales hinted at a crisis in his marriage when he wrote on social media:
“In all you do, make sure you don’t marry a heartless person. Pray for my mental health.”
