Nigerian singer Victony has revealed that his parents' understanding of his serious music ambitions only solidified after a life-threatening car accident in 2021.

During an interview on Sway's Universe, the "Risk" singer shared that his initial pursuit of music was seen as a hobby by his family due to his academic prowess. It wasn't until he started university that his passion for music intensified.

However, it was the near-fatal accident that truly opened his parents' eyes to the extent of his music career. Overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from his growing fanbase during his recovery, his parents finally gave their full blessing.

The accident, which left one person dead and Victony in a coma for four days, was a turning point in his life. It not only marked a physical recovery but also a pivotal moment in his relationship with his family and his music career.
