In an unreleased track on Wednesday morning, Nigerian rapper and singer John Njenga-Njeng, aka Skales, said he ‘‘didn’t know he was married to the devil’’.

The 31-year-old rapper, who married Precious Hassanity, a chef, in September 2021, shared snippets of the unreleased track, which sounded more like a diss track targeted at his wife, called her unprintable names for the third time in two weeks.

The rapper, born to a Cameroonian father, was single-handedly raised by a Nigerian mother in Kaduna who took on menial jobs to nurture him. Sadly, she died on 24th October.

The singer, who has never hidden his affection towards his mum, Martina Aiyewa, never missed an opportunity to show her love in her lifetime.

He bought her a house in 2016 and dedicated his sophomore album titled ‘The Never Say Never Guy’ to her in 2017.

The singer, who shared the video of him playing the song on Instagram, revealed he was yet to get over her death one week after. He shared vague messages on Sunday criticising his wife for mourning his mother on social media and not in real life.

He wrote, “Take this post down; show this same care in real life. Stop doing this for the gram. Don’t get me angry.”

Diss track

According to the lyrics of the song he played on Wednesday, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner revealed that his wife could have saved his mother but did not.

The grieving singer sang, “Disappointed by the one I called fam (family). This wasn’t no love, it was all for the gram. How can you be so insensitive, you could have saved my mama’s life. You were ten minutes away from the crib.”

He expressed his betrayal further. He said, “I’m in my feelings, and I don’t know how to act. You said it was better for worse, but you didn’t have my back.”

The rapper revealed in the track that he would have gone to war but would not. He prays for his mom’s spirit, gives him healing and promises to represent her legacy.

Background

Following his mum’s demise, Skales hinted about a crisis in his marriage when he sent a disturbing message advising the public not to marry a heartless person.

“In all you do, make sure you don’t marry a heartless person. Pray for my mental health,’’ he wrote.

However, the singer, currently in America, has not revealed what his wife did in detail but vaguely called her out.

Precious, his wife, has not responded to his allegations and has since set her social media handles to private.

Skales, an acronym for Seek Knowledge Acquire Large Entrepreneurial Skills, has been a songwriter since 2000. His singing career began in 2009 after winning the Zain Tru search competition in 2008.

His well-known songs include “Shake Body”, “Mukulu”, “Keresimesi”, “Komole”, “My Baby”, “Take Care of Me”, and “Denge Pose”.

After leaving E.M.E in May 2014, he established the independent OHK Music record label. He dropped his debut studio album, ‘‘Man of the Year’’, in 2015

The girls of nowadays don’t really love o they are just there for what they can gain. They care more about flexing and social media.

Imagine chioma can’t carry her 3yr old son along with her to Ibadan. She left the baby with nanny.

Skales wife too couldn’t rush home to assist his mother in law when she had panic attack. Despite the fact that she was 10 mins away from the house.

Sometimes i wonder how men fall that deep in love. She definitly gave you all them devilish atitude, but you gave chance to emotions, rather than logic. Pls men, don't be emotional, be logical. Think about the long term effect of her behaviour before you tie the knot. This message is to all the bitch Niggas.

You're right, that's why whenever a girl is nice to me, I ditch her immediately. They're not programmed to be nice. I met one fine slim girl earlier this year, this girl was over nice. I come dey fear sef, I even asked her if she's sure she's a Nigerian, she said YES, I ditched her after 6 weeks after doing a background check on her.
