Nigerian singer Anthony Victor, widely known as Victony, has shed light on the reason behind his initial choice not to pursue a singing career despite being aware of his vocal talent. 

The 'Soweto' crooner explained that he initially aspired to be a rapper because he believed that singing was an escape for "weak people."

In the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, Victony shared his journey and revealed that he made the transition from rapping to singing in 2020. He mentioned that 'Soweto' was one of his initial attempts at Afrobeats, signifying a shift in his musical style and genre.

He said:

“Honestly, I used to know I could sing but I just refused to. Because I just felt like it was for weak people. I felt like it was an escape for weak people.

“I always loved that rapper energy and I wanted to be a rapper. But when I started singing, I realised that it is just as technical as rapping.”
