Nigerian rapper Olanrewaju Ogunmefun David, widely known as Vector Tha Viper, has shared how his upbringing alongside his sisters influenced the way he views women today.
Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the rapper dismissed the long-held belief that women should be regarded as the “weaker vessel”.
Vector explained that his experiences growing up in a household with sisters were far from easy, recalling that he was frequently bullied by them during his childhood.
According to the rapper, those experiences left a lasting impression on him and challenged any idea that women are naturally weak or incapable.
He described the treatment he received from his sisters as traumatic at the time, noting that it exposed him to difficult moments that shaped his understanding of strength and resilience from an early age.

He said: “I have never in my life looked at a woman as inferior. My sisters were bullies when we were growing up; they gave me PTSD.
“That’s why I don’t agree with the mentality of seeing a woman as weak because I have been through torture.”
Because of what he went through, Vector said he has never been able to see women as inferior to men or accept stereotypes that portray them as fragile or powerless.
The rapper added that his personal experiences taught him that strength is not determined by gender, which is why he has always rejected narratives that place women in a lesser position than men.
