Afropop sensation Crayon has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian music industry following a series of emotional and highly critical posts on X (formerly Twitter) targeting his long-time label, Mavin Records. The “Ngozi” singer caused a social media firestorm by explicitly calling out Mavin founder Don Jazzy and Chief Operating Officer Tega Oghenejobo, accusing the leadership of undisclosed offenses. The sudden outburst has led many to believe that the singer, who joined the label’s Blowtime imprint in 2019, has officially severed ties with the powerhouse collective.
The tension appeared to peak when Crayon made pointed remarks regarding label mate Rema, suggesting internal friction that has long been shielded from the public eye. “Mavin is going down,” one post read, while another referred to his former mentor as “my boy,” signaling a drastic shift in the once-revered student-teacher dynamic. While neither Don Jazzy nor the Mavin management has released an official statement regarding the “Trench to Triumph” artist’s status, the removal of Mavin-related branding from Crayon’s social media profiles has only intensified rumors of a messy fallout.
