Nigerian singer Victony has opened up about the defining moments that shaped his music career, revealing that rapper Falz gave him his first major opportunity in the industry without asking for anything in return.
Speaking in a recent interview, the Soweto hitmaker reflected on his journey to stardom, touching on his breakthrough, his recovery after a life-changing accident, and the personal sacrifices that have come with fame.
Victony did not hold back in expressing gratitude to Falz, crediting the award-winning rapper for believing in his talent when he was still trying to find his footing in the music industry.
According to the singer, Falz offered him a career-defining opportunity without demanding payment, a gesture he says he will never forget.
“Falz gave me my first opportunity in music. He did it for FREE.”
The revelation has drawn praise for Falz, who has often been recognized for supporting emerging talents throughout his career.
Victony also looked back on the difficult period following the tragic car accident that left him with serious injuries and claimed the life of one of his friends.
The singer revealed that music became the source of hope that kept him pushing through months of recovery and rehabilitation.
“Music was what kept me going during my recovery phase during my accident.”
He explained that creating music gave him a renewed sense of purpose during one of the darkest chapters of his life.
Despite eventually finding success, Victony admitted there was a period when he seriously considered walking away from music altogether.
He revealed that the decision came after his management team parted ways with him, leaving him uncertain about his career’s future.
“There were times I felt like giving up on music after my management left.”
Rather than quit, he chose to keep going, a decision that has since paid off with a string of hit songs and growing international recognition.
While his career continues to soar, Victony admitted that success has come at a personal cost.
According to the singer, his demanding schedule has reduced the time he spends with his family, something they often remind him of.
“My family always complain that I’m no more close to them because of how busy I am with music, but I’m working on that.”
The singer said he is now making a conscious effort to create a healthier balance between his career and family life, acknowledging that success means little without the people closest to him.
Victony’s candid reflections have resonated with fans, offering a glimpse into the challenges behind his rise to fame and highlighting the people and experiences that shaped his journey.
