On the 26th of April, 2021, Victony was returning home from a birthday party in the company of his friends when the car they were in suffered a fatal crash that ended the life of his friend, Doyin.
The accident had forced Victony into surgery. He was also wheelchair-ridden for many months but that did not stop his voice from making the airwaves and the singer has come back from the crash a stronger, better and more popular version of himself.
Victony took out to his social media page today to remember his late friend as he announced his latest single.
He wrote;
1 year already. From dark times to Exciting times, y’all saw me through those phases.
“Kolomental” out now. ✝️
April 26, #Donyizzyday. R.I.P Doyin 🕊
On this day last year, God saved my life.
Victony is signed to MainlandBlockParty, a record label owned by Tobi Mohammed.
The musician, also known by fans as the Outlaw King, had last year released ‘Saturn’, his debut extended play (EP).
