Crayon Takes Aim at Don Jazzy, Rema, and Mavin Records in Fiery Social Media Posts
Nigerian singer and producer Crayon, real name Charles Chibueze Chukwu, has sparked a major stir online with a series of explosive messages directed at Don Jazzy, Rema, and the iconic Mavin Records.
The Lagos-born 28-year-old, who climbed the ranks of Mavin’s talent pipeline before officially joining Blowtime Entertainment, an imprint linked to Mavin, in 2019, went on a social media tirade that fans are calling one of the most dramatic artist-label clashes in recent memory.
Crayon’s posts blended playful affection with scathing attacks. He kicked off with an almost bewildering shoutout to Don Jazzy:
“Don jazzy na my boy!!!!!! Una dey maddddd!!?? Shayennnnn sharayyyyyy333”
But the tone shifted sharply, taking aim at the label’s COO:
“Tega highest criminal!!!!!!!!!”
He didn’t stop there. The singer broadened his target to Mavin Records itself, declaring:
“Mavin is going down!!!!!!”
And then he set his sights on the label’s biggest star:
“Rema for the next 100 years no feature. You stole my star from me. Yeah I took tha shiiiiii backkkkk hoeeeeerrrr!!!!! Snakkkkkkkeeeeeesssssssss.”
Crayon even drew comparisons between himself and his colleague:
“I’m HYM!!!! Not REMA!!!! Niggaaaaa I’m 69 in Africa!!!!!!!”
Industry observers note that the outburst may not be entirely out of the blue. Crayon’s recent single, Baami, was released without the usual promotional push from Mavin, sparking speculation that he might be stepping into a more independent phase of his career—or even planning a full departure from the label.
Fans also point to the singer’s quieter public presence since the passing of his mother last year, suggesting personal grief may be amplifying industry frustrations.
Adding fuel to the fire, Baami was released under a new label called “Olodum Ent” rather than Mavin Records, signaling a potential career pivot. The track, produced by Crayon’s frequent collaborator Ozedikus, arrived without the familiar Mavin branding and promotional machinery.
Crayon also reached out for creative contributions for his new imprint, tweeting:
“Any weird creatives that can come with OLODUM ENT FLAGGSSSSS!!!! Gets 500 million naira cash !!!!! With love WARAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”
As fans and industry insiders dissect every tweet, it’s clear that Crayon’s next moves, whether independent releases or a complete break from Mavin, will be closely watched. One thing is certain: the Afropop star is making it loud and clear that he’s charting his own path.
