Singer Victony Declares ‘No Rush to Reach Rema and Asake’s Status
Written by MAX FM on July 30, 2024
Victony, a rising star in the Nigerian music scene, recently addressed comments about his debut album, *Stubborn*.
Despite the album’s positive reception, some social media users argued it wasn’t as commercially successful as it could have been, suggesting that more critical comments—often labelled as “haters”—could have boosted its visibility.
In response, Victony expressed his frustration with these assumptions. He pointed out that rushing to emulate the success of his peers, Rema and Asake, is neither realistic nor necessary. Victony believes that each artist’s journey is unique, and comparing his success to others is not productive.
On his X account, Victony wrote: “Lmao, needing more haters is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. Why rush? Not everyone becomes Rema or Asake in two hours.” This message underscores his confidence in his path and his dismissal of unrealistic expectations set by others.
In his statement, Victony also emphasized that the pressures of achieving instant fame should not overshadow the value of genuine, gradual success.
He highlighted that the focus should be on creating meaningful work rather than rushing to meet external standards of success.
Victony’s comments serve as a reminder to fans and industry observers alike that each artist’s journey is personal and that success comes in many forms and at its own pace.
