He kept going to the school to complain when he wasn't given admission into the school. However, when he discovered admission wasn’t happening for him, he came to the realisation that it's God’s way of redirecting him.

Crayon said,

“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," he said.

“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.”
