I Almost Lost My Life – Singer Crayon Confesses

Nigerian singer, Charles Chibuezechukwu aka Crayon, has revealed that he almost lost his life in 2022.
He stated that it happened when he was struggling with his music.
Appearing on a recent episode of ‘Drip Check,’ the singer disclosed that he battled depression in 2020 due to a lack of public acceptance despite releasing songs back-to-back.
Crayon said, “2020 was one of my darkest years in the game. I dropped about seven songs and no one gained traction. I remember when I dropped ‘Gbona,’ it was about to take off then COVID-19 struck and everything shut down. And ‘Gbona’ was a club banger. I dropped the video, but it still didn’t pick up. I was dropping songs biweekly.
 
“I had a breakdown in early 2022. People don’t come back from that sh*t, me standing right here now is a miracle. I almost lost my life,” he added.

Ballon d’Or 2024: Michael Owen Names Favorites To Win Award

Micahel Owen, the world-famous former Manchester United striker, has named Real Madrid stars Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior as the favorites to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

Bellingham and Vinicius were impressive for Real Madrid last season.

They helped Los Blancos won both the Champions League and the LaLiga.

“Bellingham has obviously done great. If England go and have a great Euros then he would be the obvious one. Vinícius Júnior has done equally well,” Owen said, as quoted by DAZN.

“You have just got to wait for the Euros, haven’t you? If Mbappe goes and scores a hat trick again in a final, like he did in the World Cup, he could be a late runner.

“As things stand, it probably looks like it is a toss-up between those two, Vinicius Junior and Bellingham, but there is still the biggest tournament to go of the year, so things can change.”

Why I Avoided Ronaldo When I Bumped Into Him – Lampard Opens Up

Frank Lampard, the world-famous England and Chelsea legend, has revealed why he avoided Cristiano Ronaldo on holiday.

Lampard spoke in a chat with BBC Sport.

He said: “I actually bumped into Cristiano Ronaldo on a holiday a few months ago. I was in the same hotel on the beach.

“Unfortunately, his sunspot every day was a bit down from me and I made sure to stay away from him because he was in incredible shape, so I gave him a little bit of distance! I pulled him over as I wanted my son to have a picture because of the player he’s been. I quickly put my t-shirt on and had a nice picture with him.”

The Englishman further explained that the former Real Madrid and Juventus ace had been going to the gym twice with his trainer even on vacation.

“I noticed he was going to the gym twice a day with his personal trainer. Just shows you his dedication to what he does. I might have been sipping a beer watching him and I did give him a ripple of applause as he walked back,” he said

Ronaldo and Lampard will go down as two of football’s greatest players.

Both players faced off several times while playing for Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.

Ronaldo is currently with the Portugal team at EURO 2024 in what could be his last international tournament.
