“YOUR ASAKE DEY FAMZ ME BEFORE HIM BLOW!” SINGER CRAYON BLASTS MEDIA PERSONALITY AYO, CALLS HIM A FOOL OVER SINGER SEYI VIBEZ
Crayon insists Seyi Vibez is a superstar regardless of public criticism, while his response sparks fresh arguments among fans over musical success, industry relationships and unnecessary celebrity rivalry.
Nigerian singer Crayon has publicly confronted media personality Ayo, popularly known as AYOXX, after the latter ridiculed his decision to defend Seyi Vibez. Ayo questioned Crayon’s relevance and referenced his former association with Rema, but the singer fired back, calling him a fool and claiming that Asake used to associate closely with him before achieving fame. The exchange occurred on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
CRAYON CALLS AYO A FOOL, CLAIMS ASAKE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM BEFORE FAME
Nigerian singer Charles Chibueze Chukwu, popularly known as Crayon, has fired back at media personality Ayo after the latter mocked his defence of fellow singer Seyi Vibez, describing him as an artiste abandoned by singer Rema.
Clearly displeased with Ayo’s comment, Crayon did not hold back. He called the media personality a fool and made a surprising reference to Afrobeats star Asake, claiming that the singer used to associate with him before becoming famous.
Responding directly to Ayo on X on Thursday, November 5, 2026, Crayon wrote:
“ayoxx you are nothing but a fool! Your ASAKE DEY FAMZ me before him blow! Abi you Dey rage bait me?”
The statement immediately attracted attention, particularly because Crayon brought Asake into an argument that initially centred on Seyi Vibez and his standing in the Nigerian music industry.
His response also appeared to challenge Ayo’s attempt to ridicule his career by suggesting that Rema had abandoned him.
HOW THE CONTROVERSY STARTED: CRAYON DECLARES SUPPORT FOR SEYI VIBEZ
The disagreement began after Crayon publicly defended Seyi Vibez against criticism from social media users who had been making negative comments about the singer’s music, personality and ability to communicate in English.
Taking to X, Crayon expressed admiration for Seyi Vibez and insisted that the singer’s achievements could not be dismissed simply because some people disliked his style.
In his post, Crayon wrote:
“If you like gym!!!! SEYI VIBESSS is a fucken superstar weather you like it or not! If Dey laugh say him no sabi English o but you fit talk say LO SEYI no sabi! LO SEYI I STAND WITH YOU! Ikorodu x iyana iba waaaa o awa oooo! Seyi get SWAG pass all of Una wey Dey whine am!”
With this statement, Crayon appeared to dismiss the criticism surrounding Seyi Vibez’s English-speaking ability, arguing that fluency in English should not determine an artiste’s musical worth or popularity.
He also praised Seyi’s confidence and fashion sense, describing him as a superstar despite the criticism directed at him.
However, his public declaration of support attracted a response from Ayo, who turned the discussion into a personal attack on Crayon.
AYO MOCKS CRAYON, REFERENCES HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH REMA
Media personality Ayo, popularly known as AYOXX and identified by his X handle @Ayomichaelxx, responded to Crayon’s defence of Seyi Vibez with a comment that questioned both singers’ positions in the industry.
Rather than address Crayon’s argument about Seyi’s musical achievements, Ayo brought up Crayon’s former association with Rema, suggesting that the singer had been abandoned by his former label colleague.
In his post, Ayo wrote:
“Omoh na everybody don see Seyi finish for this music industry Even small crayon wey Rema don abandon him don Dey call Seyi Vibez ikorodu champion. Ahh Mogbe”
Ayo’s comment was deliberately mocking in tone.
By describing Crayon as someone Rema had abandoned, he attempted to portray the singer as an artiste whose career had lost its relevance.
He also used the expression “Ikorodu champion” to ridicule Seyi Vibez, making the singer’s geographical identity part of the criticism.
The comment quickly attracted attention, but Crayon was not prepared to let the remarks go unanswered.
He subsequently fired back with his now-viral statement about Asake, accusing Ayo of being a fool and questioning whether he was deliberately trying to provoke him for social media engagement.
The original exchange was published on X and subsequently circulated by other social media accounts.
WHY CRAYON BROUGHT ASAKE INTO THE ARGUMENT
One of the most interesting aspects of the disagreement is Crayon’s reference to Asake.
His statement, “Your ASAKE DEY FAMZ ME BEFORE HIM BLOW”, suggests that the singer is claiming to have enjoyed a personal association with Asake before the latter became a mainstream music star.
Although Crayon did not provide further details about the nature or duration of their alleged relationship, the statement appeared intended to remind Ayo that an artiste’s current level of success does not necessarily determine their history or previous relationships within the industry.
However, Asake was not directly involved in the original disagreement.
His name became part of the conversation because Crayon chose to use their alleged past association to challenge Ayo’s attempt to ridicule him.
It is important to distinguish Crayon’s claim from an independently confirmed account. Asake has not been established as having responded to the statement.
DETAILS ON SINGER CRAYON DAILY LIFE
Crayon, whose real name is Charles Chibueze Chukwu, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter who rose to prominence through his association with Mavin Records, founded by music executive Don Jazzy.
He gained recognition for his distinctive sound, energetic delivery and colourful musical style.
Some of his popular songs include Ijo (Laba Laba), So Fine, Ngozi and Overloading (OVERDOSE), the latter featuring several Mavin artistes.
His association with Rema and other Mavin Records acts helped introduce him to a wider audience.
Crayon also became recognised for his collaborations and contributions to the Nigerian Afrobeats scene.
His career has, however, attracted conversations about his relationship with the label and his place among the new generation of Nigerian musicians.
His latest confrontation with Ayo demonstrates his willingness to engage directly with people he believes are disrespecting him or artistes he supports.
THING TO KNOW ABOUT AYOXX
Ayo, popularly known as AYOXX, is a social media personality who uses the X handle @Ayomichaelxx.
He participates in online conversations surrounding Nigerian entertainment, celebrity controversies, music releases and the careers of popular artistes.
His comment about Crayon and Seyi Vibez attracted considerable engagement because he moved beyond criticising Seyi’s music to question Crayon’s own career and his former association with Rema.
The response from Crayon subsequently turned their exchange into a trending entertainment discussion.
SEYI VIBEZ BIOGRAPHY
Seyi Vibez, born Balogun Afolabi Oluwaloseyi, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter known for his blend of Afrobeats, street-pop and Fuji-inspired sounds.

Over the years, he has built a strong following among Nigerian music lovers and established himself as one of the recognisable names in contemporary street-pop.
He is also the founder of Vibez Inc., a music platform associated with the promotion of emerging talents.
Despite criticism of his musical style and public personality, Seyi Vibez has continued to attract commercial attention and maintain a strong fan base.
Crayon’s latest comments show that he considers the singer deserving of respect, irrespective of the criticism surrounding him.
ASAKE’S PROFILE
Asake, born Ahmed Ololade, is a Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter who rose to mainstream prominence in 2022 after signing with YBNL Nation, owned by rapper Olamide.
He became widely recognised through songs such as Omo Ope, Sungba, Peace Be Unto You and Joha.
His debut album, Mr. Money With The Vibe, further established his position in the Nigerian and international music industries.
Asake is known for combining Afrobeats with Fuji-inspired vocals, Amapiano influences and energetic musical arrangements.
Although he was not directly involved in the disagreement between Crayon and Ayo, his name unexpectedly became part of the controversy following Crayon’s claim about their alleged relationship before fame.
NIGERIANS REACT: SOME SUPPORT CRAYON
The exchange has generated different reactions, particularly among fans who believe Crayon was right to defend Seyi Vibez.
Some argued that Ayo should have addressed the singer’s opinion about Seyi’s music rather than using Rema’s name to ridicule his career.
Others maintained that an artiste’s current popularity should not be used to disrespect people who have also contributed to the music industry.
Some of the reactions supporting Crayon included:
“Crayon na legend for where Asake dey sha. Where was Asake when Crayon was giving us back-to-back hits?”
“Asake fans like to disrespect those that started before their local favourite.”
“Crayon is right. You don’t have to bring another artiste down just because you don’t like his music.”
“Seyi Vibez is a superstar, whether people like his personality or not.”
“At least Crayon is standing up for another artiste instead of joining people to ridicule him.”
These reactions reflect the arguments of people defending Crayon and his decision to stand with Seyi Vibez.
OTHERS CRITICISE CRAYON, SAY HE IS TAKING THINGS TOO PERSONALLY
While Crayon received support from some music fans, others criticised his response, arguing that he could have defended Seyi Vibez without insulting Ayo or bringing Asake into the disagreement.
Some also questioned whether the singer was allowing social media comments to distract him from his music career.
Among the critical reactions were:
“Asake dey famz you ke? Old taker, calma oh.”
“Asake has blown past your entire generation. What exactly are you trying to prove?”
“You should defend Seyi without bringing Asake into the matter.”
“Crayon, why are you always fighting everybody on social media?”
“You can’t force people to like Seyi Vibez because you like him.”
“Ayo only made a comment, but Crayon took it personally.”
“If you are confident in your music, you don’t need to prove anything to Twitter users.”
Some critics also argued that Ayo’s comment was simply an attempt at online banter and that Crayon’s response gave the controversy more attention than it deserved.
These reactions illustrate the divided opinions surrounding the exchange.
WHEN DEFENDING ONE ARTISTE TURNS INTO A PERSONAL BEEF
Also, the disagreement between Crayon and Ayo has once again demonstrated how quickly conversations about Nigerian music can turn into personal exchanges.
What started as Crayon’s public defence of Seyi Vibez soon became an argument about musical relevance, former industry relationships and the influence of established artistes.
While Ayo attempted to ridicule Crayon by referencing Rema, the singer responded by bringing up his alleged past association with Asake.
Interestingly, neither Rema nor Asake was directly involved in the original disagreement, yet their names became central to the exchange.
For some Nigerians, Crayon deserves credit for standing up for Seyi Vibez and refusing to accept what he considers disrespect. For others, the singer should have ignored the provocation and concentrated on his music.
Ultimately, the incident raises an important question about the Nigerian entertainment industry: Why has defending one artiste increasingly become an opportunity to ridicule another person’s career, popularity and past relationships?
For now, Crayon has made his position clear: he considers Seyi Vibez a superstar and is not prepared to stay silent while people mock him. Whether Ayo will respond to the singer’s latest outburst remains to be seen.
