We show that two distinct singular moduli $j(\tau),j(\tau')$, such that for some positive integers $m, n$ the numbers $1,j(\tau)^m$ and $j(\tau')^n$ are linearly dependent over $\mathbb{Q}$ generate the same number field of degree at most $2$. This completes a result of Riffaut, who proved the above theorem except for two explicit pair of exceptions consisting of numbers of degree $3$. The purpose of this article is to treat these two remaining cases.
