Not Gaining Admission Was God’s Way Of Redirecting My Life – Crayon

Popular singer, Crayon has come out to say that he sat for the Joint Admission and Matriculation (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) five times before landing a spot in the Nigerian music industry.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his failed attempts to get into a university was actually not his fault because he tried his very best to make it happen but it just wasn’t meant to be.

Crayon added that he doesn’t regret anything because not gaining admission was God’s way of redirecting his life.

His words, “It has been amazing and beautiful to see because I have been working over the years and now, I am now finally getting the recognition that I deserve.”

“So, it (recognition) is beautiful to see – among my fans, team, and everybody that knows me personally.”

“I started making music like 2016 officially. I wasn’t in school then but trying to get into the university. I wrote JAMB five times.”

“For the first two times, I failed; the rest three times, I passed. I kept going to the school to lay complaints and ask: ‘What’s up?’ It (gaining admission) wasn’t just happening for me.”

“I feel like it was God’s way of redirecting me.”
