The mixtape was followed by covers of international hit records like "Bodak Yellow" by Cardi B,[6] "Moonlight" by XXXTentacion,[7] and "On the Low" by Burna Boy.[8][9] Victony started off as a rapper but later switched and started releasing R&B, trap music, and Afropop records.[10][11] 2021 started with his record "Pray" gaining traction, a song that was released after he was in a car crash. He got his biggest break in October 2021 when he teamed up with Mayorkun on the song "Holy Father".[12] The song was number one on Apple Music Nigeria and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top Triller Global charts in December 2021.[13] He later collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer Rexxie on an EP called Nataraja.[14][15]

"Stubborn" and "Everything" were released in February and May 2024 respectively, with the latter including a sample of the song "sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee. The two songs would later be included in his forthcoming album.

"Stubborn" the album was released on 21 June 2024, to much positive critical acclaim. It comprised 14 tracks with features from Saint Jhn, Shallipopi, Kzito, Asake, teezo touchdown, shorae Moore.
