Skales mentioned that Wizkid never liked him.
In a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Nigerian singer Skales made headlines by revealing his longstanding belief that fellow artist and former record label mate Wizkid has never liked him. Skales recounted feelings of repulsion he has perceived from the ‘Starboy’ over the years, particularly highlighting a notable fallout on social media.
The singer reminisced about a past incident during a Twitter question-and-answer session, where he jokingly remarked about Wizkid’s apparent disinterest in their friendship. This seemingly innocuous comment prompted a barrage of insults from Wizkid, targeting not only Skales but also his family. Skales noted that this reaction indicated a deeper animosity, stating, “I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me.”
Despite his attempts to reconcile, Skales expressed a sense of resignation, suggesting that Wizkid’s disdain is evident and unyielding. He reflected on the public perception that often accompanies such disputes, acknowledging that any defense of his character would likely be dismissed as jealousy of Wizkid’s success.
This revelation adds another layer to the complex dynamics within the Nigerian music industry, where rivalries and personal conflicts often play out in the public eye. As Skales continues to navigate his career, this candid admission raises questions about the nature of relationships among artists and the impact of social media on personal interactions.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
