Nigerian singer Crayon has publicly accused Mavin Records of negatively altering his personality, claiming that his experience with the label has left him a different person. He also announced that he has ended his friendship with fellow artist Rema (real name Divine Ikubor).
In a series of posts on X, Crayon said that when he joined Mavin as a young man from Ojo he had hoped to become one of the greatest artistes. He alleged that the label forced him to compromise himself before achieving fame, adding, “Na idiot wey make I sell my before I blow!” He further wrote, “What really happened to the old Crayon! Mavin killed him!!! They killed the loving and playful Crayon!”
Crayon also declared that he and Rema are no longer friends, saying, “Me and Rema are no longer friends! Una don too hurt me! Una dey hurt me to the last minute! I don leave am for God!!!!! I no go talk again!” He urged Rema to speak to his fans to stop attacking him and hinted that he could reveal more about what he alleged Rema and Tega did to him.
The singer’s statements came after a period of growing frustration with the record label and the people he said had repeatedly hurt him. He has not yet provided further details or evidence to support his claims.
Mavin Records is a prominent Nigerian music label that has signed several high‑profile artists, while Rema is a well‑known figure in the contemporary Nigerian music scene. No official response has been issued by either Mavin Records or Rema to date.
