Victony has dropped his new 8-track EP, “Very Stubborn,” and it feels like a continuation of the story he’s been telling since he first broke through — only this time, he’s looking inward.
Following 2024’s Stubborn, this new project sits in a more reflective space. Victony leans into the mindset that’s shaped his rise, the same doggedness that carried him from Ojo to becoming one of Afropop’s most recognisable voices.
On “Way Home”, he responds calmly to the chatter around comparisons with his peers, singing, “They don’t know where I come from/They no fit understand what I’m made of.” That thread runs through the project — a quiet reminder that his journey hasn’t been simple, and fame hasn’t softened any of the memories he carries.
“Tanko”, which features Terry G, touches on the temptations that come with celebrity life. The mood shifts across the EP, but the tone stays measured, layered over the minimal, orchestral-leaning production Victony seems to favour these days.
The guest list is small but intentional. Don Jazzy appears on “E Go Be”, adding thoughts about destiny and resilience, while Olamide brings a different pulse to “Skido”, a track built for movement and release. Still, Very Stubborn remains wholly Victony — his voice, his reflections, his pace.
Across the EP, he moves between past struggles (“Gangsta Cry”), self-protection, and the grounding comfort he finds in faith (“Amen”). Together, they form a project that doesn’t try to be larger than life. Instead, it simply sits in the truth of who he is now and how far he’s come.
Very Stubborn is Victony being clear about the journey that shaped him — and the one he’s still on.
