Nigerian singer, Charles Chibuezechukwu, aka Crayon, has clarified reports that he is 21 years.

The ‘Ijo Labalaba’ crooner revealed that he is going to be 25 this July.

Crayon asserted that most information on the internet are “false” during a recent interview with Hip TV.

He said, “What you see on Wikipedia, sometimes are not accurate. For me, I started schooling at a very young age and I finished my secondary school very young. So all of that [alleged age] is just what you see on the internet mehn.

“I’m 24, I’m going 25 in July. It’s crazy like sometimes you see some things that are not matching.”

Crayon also revealed during the interview that he was starstruck the first time he met Wizkid at Don Jazzy’s birthday in 2018.

He described the Grammy-winner as his “GOAT.”

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Crayon has opened up on how he walked out of an examination hall to pursue his music career.

The ‘Ijo (Laba Laba)’ crooner artist made this revelation in a chat with HipTV.

According to Crayon, he exited the University of Lagos, UNILAG during his post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME test after five attempts to pursue a career in music.

The Mavin-signed singer said he couldn’t manage music and school as a result of stress.

He said he had a conversation with his parents about doing music and his dad persuaded him to attempt UTME for the fifth time.

According to the singer, a music friend named Baby Fresh, whom he met, inspired him to make a “big sacrifice” for his career.

He (Cray) said, “I won’t be able to juggle school and music at the same time because in Nigeria it’s quite stressful.

“I sat my parents down. I was like, ‘Mum and Dad, I want to make music.’ I said I feel like that’s what my heart is going for. My dad said just try this fifth one, if it doesn’t work out, you can go ahead and do music.

“So I met Baby Fresh already. It was just a moment when I had to make that big sacrifice.”

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 was in UNILAG writing my post-UTME and I walked out and everyone was just looking at me like, ‘Who is the guy? How?’ Like, ‘Why would you do this after waiting for so long?’” the singer said.

“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.”

Singer Crayon has caused a stir on social media after he shared a photo of Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji with a striking resemblance.

According to singer Crayon, the resemblance between himself and the defender is so serious that he needs to ask his parents some questions.

“Bro we need to meet! Abeg! I need to ask my mum and dad some serious questions! Make we run dna test cos how????” Crayon tweeted.

According to the 22-year-old singer, God has blessed him so much that he has broken a generational curse in his family, adding that he is the first millionaire in his mum and dad’s lineage.

Sharing his testimony on Twitter, he wrote;

“I’M LIVING TESTIMONIES OF GOD! I’M THE FIRST STAR IN MY FAMILY! BOTH FROM MY MUM’S AND MY DAD’S! GENERATIONS, BEFORE ME NOBODY HAS BEEN THIS SUCCESSFUL IN MY FAMILY!

I’M THE FIRST MILLIONAIRE IN MY FAMILY! GOD RAISED ME TO BREAK THAT GENERATIONAL CURSE! I AM “THE ONE”

Popular Nigerian singer, Charles Chukwu, who is better known as Crayon, has made a new revelation.

He says he gets inspired to write songs after having s*x.

The singer — in the recent episode of Clout Viral, a podcast anchored by Poco Lee, the dancer — said he has penned down a lot of songs after engaging in s*xual intercourse.

Crayon also talked about how he joined label Mavin Records, his musical inspiration, and how he got his stage name.

“I feel like I have written a lot of songs after having s*x. So I feel like s*x does inspire me,” he responded.

This was after he was asked to speak about his source of inspiration as a musician.

The singer said he loves to be in the music studio because “it’s my safe place.”

“I just love to be in the studio even if I’m not recording. I love the environment in the studio. It feels like a home. It’s my safe place,” he added.

Last December, Crayon revealed that he was once addicted to pornography.

On how he got his stage name, Crayon said: “My sister used to make this big bag. It was really colourful and it was on the wall. I saw it and the first thing that came to my mind was crayon.”

Since he got signed to Mavin Records in 2019, Crayon has put out several hit singles like ‘So Fine’, ‘Ijo Labalaba’, and ‘Tele’.
