Nigerian rapper Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, better known as Vector Tha Viper, has revealed that his collaboration with Goodgirl LA, “Early Momo,” helped a psychiatric patient recover from depression.
The “King Kong” hitmaker shared the story during his appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, where he discussed the value of conscious music and its ability to connect with people beyond commercial success.
According to Vector, the true measure of a song’s success is not its chart position but the impact it has on listeners.
“I can tell when people are going through a tough time because certain records come up on streams,” he explained. “Like the record with Seyi Vibez, ‘Mercy.’ When it pops up, you know people have started overthinking. And that is what music should really be, something people can turn to for whatever they’re going through.”
Citing an example, he recalled how “Early Momo” unexpectedly touched lives:
“I released Early Momo and I got a message from a psychiatric home that said it helped somebody who was depressed. That’s a successful moment in somebody else’s life that I didn’t even intend to. So, success has different definitions.”
Vector’s comments have sparked conversation online, with fans praising his perspective on music’s purpose and its power to heal.
