Nigerian Singer, Skales Shows Off New Woman 2 Years After Calling His Estranged Wife A “Devil”

Popular Nigerian singer Skales seems to have ended his marriage and moved on to a new relationship.

The singer took to Instagram today, August 23, to show off a new woman, a model known as Shauney Monae.

Skales called the model his “favourite song and guiding light”. He added that he loves the way she loves.

The singer shared a photo of him and Shauney on her birthday and he expressed how he feels about her.

His post reads partly: “The way you love, the way you care, the way you teach me how to live.

“So here’s to you, the one I adore, my heart, my muse, my greatest friend.” 

This comes two years after Skales called his wife Precious Raoul a “devil” after she went on social media to mourn his mother.

The singer and model Precious got married in September 2021. In September 2022, on their one year wedding anniversary, Skales celebrated Precious and said the marriage had been a blessing to him.

He wrote at the time: “Ever since this day last year, my joy has known no bounds… This marriage has been a blessing to me. Happy anniversary to the love of my life.”

He added: “As I celebrate my first wedding anniversary with my darling wife, I’ve decided to share with you all actual footages from one of the most memorable days of my life.” 

However, two months later, Skales publicly called out Precious in November 2022, just one year after they got married and while she was heavily pregnant with their daughter.

Skales released a diss song slamming Precious for making a post in honor of his mother after she passed. He claimed Precious could have extended his mother’s life but she refused to care for his mother. He added that he never knew he was marrying the devil.

However, months later, in March 2023, the month they welcomed their daughter, he apologised to Precious for his words and celebrated her on her birthday.

He wrote at the time: “Happy birthday my Queen @her_sanity11, I truly love, respect and care for you & I promise to do better! Cheers to most amazing year yet.”

It now appears he and Precious are done for good.

Singer, Skales Blasts Artistes Who Ignore Local Media

Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, the famous Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Skales, has slammed his colleagues who ignore the local media.

In recent years, established Nigerian artists have been ditching local media houses for foreign platforms.

Reacting to the ugly trend on the latest episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Skales described the actions of those who ignored the local media as “crazy.”

He said, “Any artiste that ignores the local media is really crazy because this is our own. Tearing down our own to go build foreigners’ own. Foreigners that don’t care about us.

“Whether my colleagues like it or not, the local media contributed to their growth. If they didn’t help them, the foreign media they are running to today wouldn’t have known them.”

He also said some of his colleagues who are now publicly ditching afrobeats after benefiting from the genre are “ungrateful.”

Skales added, “our artists need to be careful not to tear down what built us because we are trying to impress the world.”
