Crayon Blasts Mavin Records Over Pay Delays and Stolen Royalties

Afrobeats star Crayon has publicly accused his former label, Mavin Records, of delaying payments and withholding royalties. The 25-year-old went on a pointed social media tirade, even calling out founder Don Jazzy with the phrase “Julius! Judas!!!!” alongside snake emojis. His outburst coincided with the launch of his new imprint, Olodum Entertainment, and the release of his debut single “Baami.” Entertainment lawyer Adaeze Okonkwo says such disputes often signal a breakdown in internal talks over royalty transparency in Africa’s music industry. Fans have rallied behind Crayon, praising his bold stand for fair treatment. As the fallout unfolds, the industry will be watching to see if Mavin responds and how this dispute shapes future artist-label relations.
