Justine Skyeย opened up about a past experience with domestic abuse in an interview on Power 105’s Breakfast Club Monday morning.
On Sunday, the 23-year-old Roc Nation singer appeared to accuse 20-year-old rapper Sheck Wesย โย whose viral SoundCloud hit “Mo Bamba” landed onย Billboardย Hot 100 in September. Skye liked several tweets from fans that identified Wes as her abuser.
In the Breakfast Club interview, she stated, “It’s not even about protecting him… It’s not about revenge, it’s not about exposing this person… Maybe one day I will say who it is.”
She continued, appearing to confirm that the person may be in the music industry, saying, “I don’t thin that people would care. I don’t think that it would make a difference… In rap culture, people don’t care; it doesn’t matter what the artist did. It’s about how talented they are, and they’ll still be bumping their music.”

In another post, she wrote, “I apologize for the tweet I made a few years ago. I defended someone I considered family at the time… I apologize for being naive and continuing to be friends with someone who I had to learn wasn’t a good person and for sure doesn’t give a damn about women.”

I never said who it was because I knew it wouldnโt matter to a lot of you.. itโs just something for you to talk about today. Thatโs just the reality of it.
But I made a video about it in hopes that it can inspire someone else get away for their abusive partner.. That was my goal— Justine Skye (@JustineSkye) November 18, 2018
Sheck Wes has yet to comment.
