Beyond the personal challenges, Victony also revealed that the accident became a turning point in his relationship with his family, particularly his parents. During an appearance on the Behind The Prestige podcast, the ‘Soweto’ crooner shared how his music career initially met resistance from his parents, who envisioned a future for him as an engineer.

My parents were not cool with me doing music from the jump. They didn’t tell me to stop, but they weren’t 100% supportive of it. They hoped I’d finish school and become an engineer,” Victony said.

However, the accident changed everything. As tributes and hashtags like “#PrayForVictony” flooded social media, his parents were confronted with the realization of his impact and reach. The overwhelming public love and concern made them reassess their stance, ultimately allowing Victony the freedom to fully pursue his passion.

When they saw how much impact I had on people, they realized my music career meant a lot to me and just let me do what I wanted,” he shared.

Victony’s story is a blend of pain and resilience—a journey marked by loss, recovery, and triumph. His hit singles like Holy Father and Soweto have become anthems of hope and strength, reflecting the spirit of a young artist who chose not to let adversity define him.
