Charles Chibuezechukwu, also known as Crayon, has refuted his alleged age peddled on roughly all social media platforms.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, Crayon, Marvin's record label signee rejected the circulated claim that he is 21 years old. Contrarily, he disclosed that he is 24 years old and he will be turning 25 this July.

Stressing further on his real age, he acknowledged the fact that inaccurate information is usually processed on platforms like Wikipedia.

“What you see on Wikipedia sometimes is not accurate. For me, I started schooling at a very young age and finished secondary school very young. So all of that [alleged age] is just what you see on the internet, man. I’m 24; I’m going on 25 in July. It’s crazy; sometimes you see some things that are not matching,” he said.

Furthermore, Crayon spoke on the challenges he faced in his education which it prompted him to choose music.

According to him, he attempted the university admission examination five times and it did not work out. That made him persuade his parents about his interest in music.

"On the fifth try, I had already met Baby Fresh, who used to work at Mavin. Juggling school and music simultaneously is quite stressful in Nigeria. Music alone is demanding,” he said.

“So I sat down with my parents and told them, ‘Mom and Dad, I want to pursue music.’ I explained that it felt like my heart was leading me in that direction. My dad suggested that I give the fifth try a chance, and if it didn’t work out, I could pursue music.” He said.
