In a recent interview on the Adesope Live show, Skales attributed the rumours to an overzealous fan on X (formerly Twitter), named Benny. He described the claim as completely fabricated and expressed frustration over its spread.
“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,” Skales said.
He added, “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.”
The singer used the platform to caution fellow artists about the influence of overenthusiastic fans, urging peers to seek direct communication to clarify misunderstandings rather than allowing misinformation to spark unnecessary tension.
