Crayon, said he had to call a friend for support, adding that he lied to his parents about not being on the school’s admission list.

“I had to call my friend Julius. I was like, ‘I just did the craziest thing in my life.’ He was like, ‘You just told God you’re serious.’ So I just lied to my parents that I wrote the exam but my name didn’t come out.”
