Anthony Victor, the singer better known as Victony, says his accident two years ago was a “blessing in disguise”.
In April 2021, the ‘Soweto’ crooner was involved in a ghastly accident that left one dead and three injured.
The singer thereafter underwent his first surgery in the same year.
In a recent interview on ‘Tee with Tay’ podcast, the 22-year-old said the car crash helped him slow down and gain a deeper understanding of what is truly important in life.
“The accident was definitely a blessing in disguise because it’s teaching me a lot, I’m still learning from that experience,” he said.
“You know, it kind of like just slowed me down and just made me understand that certain things were really important in life.”
Victony rose to fame over two years ago after he collaborated with Mayorkun for ‘Holy Father’.
He later collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer Rexxie on the EP titled ‘Nataraja’.
He is signed to Mainland Block Party, a record label owned by Tobi Mohammed.
In February, the singer announced he will be taking a two-month break from music after undergoing his third and final surgery.
Despite being a relatively new artiste, Victony has received several recognitions.
He was previously nominated at the Headies and the All Africa Music Awards.
On April 1, the music star performed alongside Ayra Starr and Burna Boy at J Cole’s Dreamville Festival.
