Mavin Record label signee, Crayon has revealed how he battled mental health trauma at the early phase of his career.

The singer who granted a long-term interview with a popular YouTuber, Korty detailed that life in the Nigerian music firm is quite challenging, while proclaiming that it’s not for the faint-hearted.

According to him, there was a time in his career when he got addicted to drugs, admitting that he got all in line with drugs, taking all forms of it, including Codeine and Marijuana.

Meanwhile, even though the drugs played their part in exploiting his mental health, having to drop six consecutive songs without any convincing result added to it.

He narrated that the situation escalated to a point where he walked barefooted to Mavin Record Label’s mansion and acted weird. According to him, it was all a mess, luckily, no one could film the draining moment where he smashed his phone on the ground and confessed the urge to quit singing.

However, Rema emrged to be the critical artist who helped him go through his difficult moment.

He finalised that even as he was being rushed to the psychiatrist’s hospital, he wished to jump out of a moving vehicle because his mind was messed up.

His words:

“If you’re an artiste, and you want to come into the industry, omo, if you know say you no get strong mental health, no enter o!”

“You know, I came out in 2019. Dropped my first EP, and then like in 2020, I dropped like six songs that didn’t blow at all. It started messing with me mentally. Doubting myself in so many ways. Me going to Jazzy crying like “what’s going on? Am I cursed?”

“I was always by myself. I used to do Tramadol, I used to do Codeine. I used to Emzolyn. I used to do Refinol. And I used to do Skuchies. Skuchies is like the combination of weed, tramadol, codeine, refinol, everything in one. I stopped when it almost killed my guy and my guy took tramadol without eating, like 700mg. Almost died. So I called my friends like omo, we need to stop this thing.”

“One day, we went to a beach house party and we were just vibing and chilling, and then I started reacting somehow. And then my manager saw me and was like “guy, wetin dey worry you? You take anything?” I said “no, only weed” because I was acting out crazy. So immediately, I came back home and started Facetiming Rema like “how far bro.” All of a sudden, I started walking on the streets. I just dey waka dey go. I walked down to Mavin Studios barefooted. I got to the gate, and I sat down on the floor and was like “omo, I don tire mehn.” I took off my shirt, I took my iPhone, I smashed it on the ground. And then, calls started flying. I think Rema called BabyFresh and everybody started shouting “Crayon, what are you doing there?” I said I’m just really tired. Rema drove down, scattered everywhere, shouting “where my brother dey?” I was literally lying down in Rema’s lap.”

“It was bad. Car dey move, I would want to jump out of the car. It was that crazy. I couldn’t talk. I literally lost my mind. Fighting wars that nobody can see, only you. So they took me to one of the psychiatric hospitals here in Lekki. It was deep.”

Nigerians stormed their social media handles and expressed their views according to their understandings, relating politely with him.

Watch video below;

“I got to Mavin studios, sat down in front of the gate & smashed my phone on the ground. Rema drove there & carried a stick, he was ready to fight. I was lying down on Rema’s lap, it was similar to Mohbad’s situation.”
