Crayon Opens Up About Drug Addiction And Psychiatric Hospitalization

Nigerian singer Charles Chibuezechukwu, popularly known as Crayon, has shared his harrowing experience with drug addiction, revealing how it nearly cost him his life and led to his hospitalization in a psychiatric facility.

In an interview with YouTuber Korty EO, Crayon recalled an alarming episode where he began acting erratically in front of his record label’s office.

His colleague, Rema, ultimately came to his rescue. Crayon described walking barefoot to Mavin Studio, smashing his iPhone, and feeling overwhelmed.

Rema arrived to support him, offering encouragement, saying, “Once you pass this stage, you will come out great.”

Crayon was later admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Lekki for treatment.

Reflecting on the experience, he expressed gratitude for surviving and for the support of his team and friends during that difficult time.
