The Digest:
Nigerian singer Crayon has publicly called out Mavin Records leadership in a series of tweets on X, labeling COO Tega Oghenejobo a "criminal" and declaring "Mavin is going down." The 28-year-old, born Charles Chibueze Chukwu, also claimed Rema "stole my star" and announced a new email for bookings under Olodum Entertainment. His newly released song "Baami" is hosted under the Olodum imprint without Mavin branding. Mavin executives including Don Jazzy have not yet responded.
Key Points:
- The outburst signals a messy public exit that could damage relationships with fans and industry peers.
- Crayon's accusations against Rema may reignite tensions between Mavin's frontline artists.
- The new Olodum Entertainment imprint suggests Crayon is moving forward independently or under new management.
- Mavin's silence leaves room for speculation about internal label dynamics and artist welfare.
- The incident highlights risks of artist-label disputes playing out publicly on social media.
Industry observers await Mavin's response and whether Crayon's claims will prompt broader conversations about artist treatment in Nigerian record labels.
