Vector says he has paid a very steep price for insisting on being himself in a country like Nigeria - he has been shadow banned, he says. But he insists on being himself, making his art, and speaking his mind, telling me he has no fear of any man who owns a mic. From studying witchcraft at the University of Lagos to teaching his daughters how to box and defend themselves, this ‘song of a gun’ tells me about growing up amidst the violence of Lagos Island, being detached without being inhuman, how his wife and daughters have helped him understand tenderness and why he didn’t cry when his father passed. We speak about regrets he may have about the epic scuffle with MI, why exactly that was a battle he had to fight and recent misunderstandings in the media of what he said about Burna Boy, Nigeria - and that time Portable heard Vector rap about ‘Zazu’ (Lion King’) and thought he was being attacked.Then I ask him if he is happy with where his career is today. Everything about this episode is fire.
