Nigerian Afrobeats rising star Victony, whose real name is Anthony Victor, has released a powerful new EP titled “Very Stubborn“, which was released on Friday.
The project marks a significant step in his evolution as not just a hitmaker, but as a thoughtful and introspective storyteller.
Very Stubborn is a genre blending, eight track EP that showcases Victony’s emotional depth and musical experimentation. Unlike his previous upbeat releases, this project leans into more pensive and reflective themes. Lyrically, it explores the complexities of fame, isolation, betrayal, and mental resilience.
Tracks like “Way Home” paint the emotional toll of success, while “Tanko” featuring Terry G captures the flashy, often overwhelming temptations of celebrity life.

The production is intentionally minimal, often orchestral, allowing Victony’s voice and message to take center stage. The transitions between tracks reflect his internal conflict — balancing the public’s expectations with his private struggles.
There are no filler songs; each track serves the larger narrative, making the EP a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
However, Critics have praised the project’s vulnerability and focus. With a limited number of collaborations, Victony’s storytelling remains the heart of the work. “Very Stubborn” cements his status as a serious album artist in the Afrobeats genre. It’s not just a collection of songs it’s a declaration of permanence and artistic intent.
