Gospel artist Victor Thompson, well-known for his popular song “This Year,” has courageously shared his incredible journey of transformation.
During a candid discussion with Chude Jideonwo, Victor Thompson revealed his past of selling marijuana and alcohol to s3x workers as a way to survive after losing both parents at the young age of 12.
The musician spoke about the challenges he faced daily, working multiple jobs to make ends meet.
He mentioned that he would sell bottled water during the day on the streets, and in the evenings, he ran a small store near a brothel, where he sold alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes to s3x workers.
In his words:
“At a time, I was selling alcohol, weed, cigarettes, and hawking pure water. In the morning and afternoon time, I did vulcanizing, shoe-making and hawked pure water but at night go back to my shop which was close to a brothel to sell alcohol, weed, and cigarettes. Most of my customers were the prostitutes.
“I lost my parents when I was between 12 and 14. My dad passed first, I think I was 10 or thereabout. When my dad died, my aunties threw us out of our dad’s house. We didn’t have a place to sleep. God so good, a carpenter was so kind and gave us an empty land to sleep. It’s a bush so at night, I would sneak my mum in, so that was how we lived for years. But she couldn’t cope then she passed.”
