Nigerian singer Crayon, whose real name is Charles Chukwu, has opened up about a challenging phase in his life when he struggled with mental health issues and took a break from music.
He revealed this on Friday during a live chat with streamer Carter Efe, reflecting on the difficulties he faced in 2022 and how he eventually overcame them.
According to him, the situation was fueled by pressure from multiple fronts, including family expectations and the demands of the music industry. The stress, he explained, significantly affected his well-being and led to a serious condition that required medical care and an extended period of therapy.
Crayon said he was hospitalized for treatment and took time off to focus on recovery before returning to his career.
After regaining his strength, he made a comeback with songs like Labalaba and Overloading, signaling his return to the music scene.
He added that the experience reshaped his outlook, helping him find balance and stability as he continued his journey in the industry.
“In 2022, I dealt with mental health struggles caused by different pressures—family, the industry, and the desire to succeed. I was hospitalized for a long period of therapy, and after recovering, I came back with ‘Labalaba’ and ‘Overloading,’” he said.
