In other news, Vic O has retired from music again, and this time he means it.
For those keeping count, this is retirement number three, and we are doing the full timeline because this man's career deserves to be documented the same way INEC documents election results. Carefully, confusingly, and with the full knowledge that something is about to be cancelled.
Years ago, during the Drake versus Meek Mill beef that had the entire world choosing sides, Vic O looked at that war from Lagos and decided to insert himself. He challenged Drake. He challenged Meek Mill. Both of them. At the same time. From Nigeria. Drake did not respond. Meek Mill did not respond. The beef ended without Vic O's involvement, and both men went on to win Grammys. Vic O went on to the next chapter.
In 2024, Vic O announced his first official retirement on Instagram, saying Nigerians do not deserve him. He captioned the video, "I've decided to quit music because Nigerians don't deserve me." The nation received this information calmly. Two days later, he released a new song, confusing the whole world, including himself.
Then, in 2025, he retired specifically from rap battles. He said a man of his calibre should not have to beg for recognition from people who refuse to show up and fight. Drake has not commented yet, and Meek Mill has not said anything.
Now in 2026, Vic O has retired from rap entirely. The whole genre after Nigerians begged him to wRAP it up. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, Vic O is now an R&B singer. He recently released an R&B song called "My Story" in which he sings softly about his journey over a keyboard with harmonies.
Nigerians are begging him to delete the song and end his R&B career immediately.
Not just because the song is terrible, but because, if he continues, there are concerns that the federal government might end up regulating how music is made in Nigeria. The song isn't just bad; it sounds better when you pause or stop it.
"Vic O went from 'Drake I will destroy you' to singing about his feelings," one person wrote.
"This man has more plot twists than a Tinsel season finale."
"I replayed it twice and deleted my music app."
Someone admitted quietly. "Do not quote me."
Music analysts tracking his career have now built a simple forecast. Someone said he will retire again and start Gospel by December 2026, and by early 2027, he will go into amapiano or trap. I just hope his retirement isn't a trap and that one day he leaves music for good.
If you think I am over exaggerating, well, "My Story" is on all platforms. Stream it at your own risk. Vic O will retire either way.
Edgar doesn't lie.
