Nigerian Singer, Skales Denies Receiving N600,000 Gift From Burna Boy (Video)

Popular singer Skales has denied rumours that fellow artist Burna Boy gave him N600,000 during a period of financial difficulty.

Skales claimed that the rumour was orchestrated by a Burna Boy’s fan on X, formerly Twitter.

The singer stated this while speaking on the negative impacts of social media and fake news on the music industry in a recent interview on the Adesope Live show.

“There was a time I had to reach out to a Burna Boy fan on Twitter, I think his name is Benny or something. I asked him what I had done to him to warrant the hate he exhibits towards me.

“He created a fake news that there was a time that I was broke and Burna Boy helped me with N600,000. That never happened,” he said.

Skales urged his colleagues not to let overzealous fans pit them against each other. He advised that they should always reach out to one another for clarifications on issues.

"Phyno had issues with me and I didn't know..."
