Vector says bullying by sisters stopped him seeing women as weaker
On July 12, 2026, Nigerian rapper Vector Tha Viper appeared on the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and said that being bullied by his sisters while growing up left him with post‑traumatic stress and prevented him from ever viewing women as inferior. He explained that the trauma he experienced made him reject the idea that women are 'weaker vessels,' a notion he says he has never subscribed to.
His remarks challenge a common gender stereotype in Nigerian society and highlight how personal family experiences can shape attitudes toward gender equality. The conversation comes amid broader discussions about masculinity, respect for women, and the impact of childhood bullying on adult perspectives.
Listeners should consider how their own early experiences influence their views on gender, and use such reflections to foster more respectful and equitable interactions. The interview also underscores the importance of addressing bullying within families, as its effects can extend into adulthood and shape societal attitudes.
