Is Victony Crippled or Paralysed?

According to the team managing Victony, he is neither paralyzed nor crippled. He had previously lost the ability to use his legs and was confined to a wheelchair but has since regained his ability to walk.

There was a drastic change of events in December 2021 at the “A Decade of Davido” concert, where he stood up from his wheelchair with the help of Davido on stage. The show got the fans going wild with wonder and excitement at the sudden turn of events.

At the time of this writing, Victony is fully recuperated and walking just fine while going on tours and concerts around the world. His sudden ability to stand from the wheelchair and walk also got a great number of people on the internet and social media abuzz while accusing the young artist of faking his inability to walk.

According to some allegations, he was only looking for sympathy from the crowd and buying his popularity. He, however, reverberated all claims and accusations by simply taking it all in stride while proclaiming that he was alright with people’s view of the situation.

What Happened to Victony’s Legs?

On April 26, 2021, Victony attended musician Oxlade’s birthday party. On his way back in the company of four others (a lady and two males), they were involved in a ghastly motor accident that took the life of his friend, Doyin.

The fatal crash, which happened in Lagos, left their vehicle severely damaged and also led Victony to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The other two people also suffered major injuries that led to surgeries.

Victony sustained serious fractures on his thigh and head regions, leading to his wheelchair-bound case and complete hair-shaven cut. Although his doctors had assured him that the artist would walk again, his recovery process took at least seven months before he could use walking aid.

During the unfortunate accident and his recovery, colleagues in the industry, such as MI, Davido, Falz, Teni, Joeboy, YKB, Laycon, and several others, rallied their support for the artist. Fans (the outlaws as they are popularly called) of the Afro-pop singer also gave out their massive support to the Holy Father crooner.
