OpenLife Nigeria reports that Nigerian rapper and singer Vic O has taken to social media pleading for help after a video of him in detention captured the nation’s attention.
The “After Party” hitmaker appeared visibly shaken behind bars, shirtless, as he revealed he has been in custody since before Valentine’s Day in Calabar, with a court date set for Monday, February 16, 2026. The reason for his arrest remains undisclosed.
In a desperate plea, Vic O shared his bank details online, urging fans to contribute and help him meet bail, saying he cannot afford it on his own.
The clip quickly went viral, with supporters expressing concern and others poking fun.
One fan jokingly referenced a lyric from the rapper, saying, “If rapping were a crime, he should stay jailed, because he’ll never stop making music.”
Vic O’s viral detention clip follows a recent trend of Nigerian artists facing legal troubles.
Street-pop sensation Portable was seen in tears weeks ago while in custody, and last year, Speed Darlington was detained over a defamation claim reportedly involving Burna Boy.
As fans rally online, Vic O’s heartfelt plea continues to spark conversations about the challenges artists face and the urgency of his release.
