Tiwa Savage Introduced Me To ‘Backy’,” Crayon Reveals Sh*cking Music Industry Encounter

According to Ireporter Online, Nigerian singer Crayon, born Charles Chibueze Chukwu, has alleged that his senior colleague, Tiwa Savage, introduced him to a substance he referred to as “Backy” in 2018.

Crayon explained in a recent interview with Nigerian streamer Caterefe that “Backy” is reportedly a mix of illicit substances including cannabis, tramadol, codeine, or rohypnol rolled into a blunt. He claimed the encounter happened after Tiwa Savage asked him if he smoked, to which he responded in the affirmative, after which she allegedly handed him the substance. The singer further stated that the experience led to his eventual addiction to the substance.

He also opened up about his personal admiration for Tiwa Savage, revealing that he once had a strong crush on her during that period.

In his words, Crayon said: “Tiwa Savage was my crush in 2018, she gave me my first Backy. She asked if I smoked. I said yes mama I smoke, and she handed it to me. Since then, I started smoking Backy.”

Meanwhile, according to reports, Nigerian music producer and artist Samklef has reacted to recent social media comments made by Crayon involving Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy. Crayon had previously accused Don Jazzy of negatively impacting his career and blamed the label for personal tragedies, while also vowing to take down the record label.

Samklef, in his reaction, mocked Don Jazzy over the controversy and linked Crayon’s outburst to Don Jazzy’s association with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM). He further suggested that recent developments within Mavin Records and the artists under the label may reflect underlying tensions, noting perceived struggles in their recent public output.
