A Mavin record artiste, Crayon has disclosed that he had written the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination five times before stardom, failing the first 2 and passing the other 3 but couldn't secure an admission still.
“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 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,” he said.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions. The board conducts the entrance Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for prospective undergraduates into Nigerian universities.
