Mavin Records singer and songwriter, Charles Chibueze Chukwu, professionally known as Crayon, has narrated how ace producer Babyfresh, saved him from drug addiction.
The 22-year-old singer disclosed this in a post via Twitter on Sunday, revealing how he was used to consuming substances like tramadol and codeine.
The singer said this was when he was still living in the slums of Ojo in Lagos state.
He said Babyfresh helped him overcome his addiction by removing him from the slum and advising him to stop doing drugs.
He added that he is now sober and has been able to maintain their sobriety despite their financial success.
