Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has debunked the viral claim of him divorcing his wife, Precious Hassanity, for joining trolls to mock his career on social media.

‎
‎The viral claim was made on popular microblogging platform X formerly known as Twitter, by an X user, @Verity_HQ, who claimed that Skales divorced Precious for joining trolls in mocking his career on social media. The post reads:

‎
‎“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."

‎
‎Quoting the post, Skales described it as "evil", as he clarified that he has never made such a statement, while urging the user to stop spreading lies.

‎Skales 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.”
