Rapper, singer and songwriter Vector the Viper has revealed that his diverse musical background has been instrumental in his ability to stay relevant in the industry.

In an interview with Arise News, Vector credited his Yoruba heritage and early Christian upbringing in a white garment church for shaping his unique sound.

He emphasised the importance of versatility in music, noting that every artist should be free to express themselves in their own way.

“Every artiste has the right to affiliate with music how they wish. Let’s not box anything in. I have been honest with my music and as a Yoruba boy, I was raised with words and proverbs and wise sayings. Those things form like the core background of what you do. But then, I was also exposed to music properly in the white garment church. So how do I box myself? Which is why I say I am just within the confines of music,”he said.
