Popular singer Skales has dismissed claims that fellow artiste Burna Boy gave him ₦600,000 during a period of financial difficulty.
According to Skales, the story was fabricated by a fan of Burna Boy on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He made this clarification while discussing the harmful effects of social media and misinformation on the music industry during a recent interview on the Adesope Live show.
“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.
Skales urged his colleagues not to let overzealous fans pit them against each other. He advised that they should always reach out to one another for clarifications on issues.
