Crayon has talked candidly about his relationship with Tiwa Savage, admitting that he formerly harboured a deep infatuation with her.
In 2018, Crayon, who was previously signed to Savage’s former label, Mavin Records, claimed to have introduced him to “Backy”, a blend of illegal substances including cannabis, tramadol, codeine, or rohypnol.
He described how Savage asked if he smoked, and when he said that he did, she gave him the blunt.
Speaking in a candid interview with streamer Caterefe, Crayon disclosed that since then he became addicted to “Backy”.
“Tiwa Savage was my crush in 2018; she gave me my first Backy. She asked me if I smoked. I said yes mama, I smoke,’ and she handed it to me. Since then, I started smoking Backy,” he stated.
