‘I never knew I married the devil’ – Singer, Skales calls wife out
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, 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.”
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

The ‘Soundtrack’ crooner shared the details during an episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, revealing a surprising chapter of his life abroad.
May D disclosed that after relocating to Sweden, he became a “house husband,” staying at home to take care of their child while his wife worked.
Despite not holding a traditional job, he earned more from his music shows than his wife did in her working career.
“I went to Sweden for a show but decided to settle down there since my girlfriend was Swedish. I was a house husband. What do you want me to do? I should go and work?” he explained.
“My wife was working but when I go for a show, I make five times what she earns in a month. I was a house husband but I was comfortable. I had my baby, my wife can’t be the one taking care of the baby and working at the same time.”
However, the marriage came to an end during the COVID-19 lockdown. May D explained that he was stuck in Nigeria at the time, which led to his wife filing for divorce.
“We got divorced during COVID-19 because I got stuck in Nigeria. That was how she divorced me. You know they think different from us,” he said.
May D’s candid revelation sheds light on the challenges faced in international relationships, particularly during the pandemic, and provides a glimpse into his life as both a father and a musician.
Controversial singer Speed Darlington has been granted bail by an Abuja court after police arraigned him following public pressure
Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been granted bail by an Abuja court after the Nigeria Police Force arraigned him following public and legal pressure.
Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, announced the development on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Police finally arraigns Speed Darlington in court. Bail application moved and granted. We are trying to perfect same.”
Although details of the bail remain undisclosed, this marks a significant turn in the singer’s legal saga. The case arose after Okoye’s arrest and detention, reportedly linked to his allegations against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy and Sean Combs (P. Diddy).
Okoye had earlier petitioned Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Dasuki Galadanchi of the Force Intelligence Bureau in Abuja, challenging his continued detention.
In the petition, he urged compliance with a December 23, 2024, court order issued by Justice M.S. Liman. The order directed the police to either arraign him within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
The police ultimately complied by arraigning him, leading to the bail ruling. Legal experts see this as a pivotal case underscoring the importance of upholding judicial orders and ensuring accountability in law enforcement practices.
The case has drawn public attention, highlighting the ongoing dialogue about individual rights and the rule of law in Nigeria. Further updates on the details of Speed Darlington’s bail are awaited as his legal team works to finalise the process.
