Skales' marriage fallout

The revelation comes nearly two years after Skales’ marriage to Precious Raoul went from a blissful union to a highly publicised conflict.

The couple, who tied the knot in September 2021, had initially appeared to be deeply in love. On their first wedding anniversary in September 2022, Skales had gushed about how marriage was the “greatest blessing” of his life.

However, by November 2022, things took a bitter turn.

The singer accused Precious of neglecting his late mother, going as far as to call her a “devil.” He even released a diss track aimed at her while she was pregnant with their daughter.

Surprisingly, just a few months later, in March 2023, Skales publicly apologised, celebrated Precious’ birthday, and promised to “do better.”
