Zlatan Ibile has openly spilled one of his early life experiences before fame, which has sparked reactions amongst Nigerians.

During his recent appearance on Twitch, where he appeared as a guest with the Nigerian Streamer Shank, Zlatan toured fans through his early life struggles before fame, while also at school. And how impactful Olamide’s influence helped infuse his dominance.

When their conversation led to his struggles, the business mogul revealed that he indulged in a cab business with the car he won at a music competition, which he used to carter for himself at school.

According to him, each time he lacked money, he would use the car to offer driving service to passengers from Abeokuta to Shagamu for just N350. This he revealed sustained him in school during his financial turbulence. He also revealed how Olamide helped him effortlessly during the early phase of his career.

His link up with Shank on Twitch dished expected entertainment as the two shared incredible energy and connection.

The Nigerian singer and rapper have also attained incredible feat in business administration, following how his clothing brand has emerged to be one of the most rated fashion brands across Africa. This is also attributed to his musical influence, having dominated the curriculum with his incredible unique approach to the Afrobeat genre. He debuted as a rap gem, then blended to the Afro-wave of sound that defined his incredible musical qualities.

“Back in school, when I had no money for food, I would wait until night & use the car I won that year to run taxi trips from Abeokuta to Shagamu for ₦350”
