Afrobeats singer Skales has refuted claims that his colleague Burna Boy gifted him N600,000 during his period of financial struggle.
Skales attributed the rumour to a Burna Boy fan on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the claim was fabricated.
In a recent interview on the Adesope Live show, Skales expressed his disappointment, saying he had to reach out to the fan, identified as Benny, to understand the motive behind the false narrative.
“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.
The singer urged his peers to be cautious of overzealous fans and to communicate directly to clarify issues, rather than letting misinformation create tension.
