“I’m not in a hurry to reach Rema and Asake’s level” – Victony on album criticism

Popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer Anthony Victor, popularly known as Victony, has addressed the recent social media criticism surrounding his debut album, Stubborn.

The singer has faced criticism suggesting that the album’s commercial performance suffered due to a lack of “haters” to generate buzz through negative commentary.

In response to these claims, Victony took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to dismiss the notion as “dumb.”

He expressed his frustration with the unrealistic expectations placed on his career, emphasizing that he is not in a hurry to match the level of success achieved by his contemporaries, Rema and Asake.

Victony’s statement read:

“Lmao, Victony need more haters gotta be the dumbest shit I seen cos what’s the rush? Everyone wanna be Rema and Asake in 2 hours?”
