Popular singer, Charles Chibuezechukwu aka Crayon, has narrated how his family was thrown out by a landlord many years ago due the inability of his parents to renew the house rent.
According to Crayon, the incident happened in 2013 when their house rent was N18,000
The ‘Trench To Triumph’ crooner said after they were evicted from the house, they squated with one of their church members who was also owing rent and later thrown out.
He disclosed these in a recent interview with MTV Base.
Crayon said,
“What happened is, our church member was living in a house before so she wanted to move out of the house. And my family were looking for a house because they gave us a deadline to move from our former house.
“So, our church member told us that okay, you guys can move into the house. We did not know all along that she was owing rent. And we had a deadline. My dad already signed a tenancy with the landlord because the landlady was going crazy.
“So, five days before the expiration of the deadline, we moved and then we got to our church member’s house. It was still a ‘face-me-I-face-you’.
“And then I think one of the tenants called the landlord like, ‘Yo, somebody just moved into your house.’ And then the landlord came and threw our things out. We started begging. I was f*cking depressed looking at my mom and dad being down in front of a normal man.
“Guess how much was the rent? N18k. This was 2013/2014.”
