Nigerian singer John Njenga-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has opened up about his past behavior towards women, admitting he hasn’t always acted maturely in his relationships.

In a heartfelt post shared via his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, the music star confessed, “I’ve been immature before but I vow to myself to be a real man to women they deserve it.”

Skales went on to encourage other men to treat women with love, empathy, and respect, noting that being a woman is no easy task. His message was filled with sincere self-reflection and a call for men to embrace their emotions without shame.

He continued, “Love her till she don’t hurt no more … be kind and real to women … it ain’t easy being a woman.”

The artist also touched on the influence of his upbringing, revealing that he was raised by a single mother. This, he suggested, helped shape his evolving views on how women should be treated.

Emphasizing that showing love and vulnerability does not reduce a man’s worth, he added, “Showing affection to a woman don’t make you a simp but a real man.”

Skales’ post has since sparked conversations online, with many applauding his honesty and the positive message of emotional maturity and accountability.
