Vict0ny’s rise to prominence hasn’t been a smooth sail. His music tells a story of resilience, capturing the challenges and triumphs that have shaped his career. In 2021, the Imo State-born star was involved in an accident that left him in a wheelchair for many months, however, through his perseverance which he echoed on many occasions, he kept making music.“With Outlaw, I tried to let people know that [I am] different,” “Here, I’m continuing with that stubbornness, telling people we haven’t switched lanes. I’m still about being me regardless of who likes it or not. And just reflecting on everything that I have been through and where I’m coming from because it’s not necessarily a land of dreams. It’s not easy to be from Lagos. You have to be hopeful because there’s not much to give you hope. Vict0ny is resilient, and I feel like this album truly represents who I am now.”
Vict0ny’s journey has been marked by numerous milestones, from topping international music charts to performing on some of the world’s most prestigious stages.
