In 2021 Zimcelebs asked Victor about his roots. See his answers below:

Which country are you really from?

I am mixed half South African and Zimbabwean also a descendant from a Jamaican bloodline. I’m based and grew up in South Africa. I prefer saying I am a global citizen and I come from any country you come from or perhaps wish to give me hence the phrase ‘I come from your country’. I say this based on my love for my followers and the content I create it is cross-culture.

What do you love most about Zimbabwe?

I love the music and the Country itself, it is just beautiful and unique
