Nigerian rapper and songwriter, Vector Tha Viper, has shared a touching story about the impact of his music, revealing that his hit single Early Momo with Goodgirl LA once helped a psychiatric patient battling depression.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the King Kong crooner explained that music should not only be measured by chart success but by its ability to positively influence listeners’ lives.
Vector recounted receiving a message from a psychiatric home informing him that Early Momo played a role in helping a patient recover from depression. He described the moment as a powerful reminder that true success in music lies in its emotional and psychological impact.
“I can tell when people are going through a tough time because certain records come up on streams. Like the record with Seyi Vibez, Mercy. When it pops up, you will know that people have started overthinking. And that is what music should really be. It should be spread across in such a way that whatever people are going through, they find the music to fit that purpose.
“I released Early Momo and I got a message from a psychiatric home that said it helped somebody that was depressed… That’s a successful moment in somebody else’s life that I didn’t even intend to. So, success has different definitions,” he explained.
Vector’s perspective highlights the importance of conscious music and its role in providing comfort, healing, and inspiration to listeners beyond the mainstream metrics of fame and awards.
