Victony car accident headlines resurfaced as fans reflected on the 2021 incident that nearly claimed his life.
The singer was involved in a ghastly motor accident that killed one and left three others injured. He sustained serious injuries and was confined to a wheelchair for nearly a year.
Shortly after the accident, Victony rose to mainstream fame with the release of Holy Father, a chart-topping collaboration with Mayorkun that became a defining moment in his recovery and music career.
Reflecting on the pain of those years, Victony posted on X, formerly Twitter, “My troubles stole my youth.”
My troubles stole my youth, but I’m reclaiming every part of it now—sober, grateful, and ready to feel everything on stage.
In another update, the singer revealed he has been sober for the past three months, marking a major personal milestone. “3 months sober, Glory,” he wrote.
Victony also disclosed that prior to this new chapter, he had never performed on stage without consuming alcohol.
However, he now plans to change that as he embarks on his *Stubborn* tour, aiming for a more authentic connection with his audience.

The singer’s openness about his recovery and commitment to sobriety has resonated deeply with fans, many of whom have followed his journey from tragedy to resilience.
Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
