Nigerian rapper, Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, better known as Zlatan Ibile, has given reasons for his decision not to invest in up-and-coming artistes.
Naijaonpoint reports that Zlatan, while speaking on the Adesope Live show, explained that investing in up-and-coming artistes was risky, stressing that he is unsure if such an investment would yield profit.
He emphasised that he is in the music industry strictly for business and financial stability.
Zlatan, however, said he is willing to collaborate with up-and-coming artistes, adding that he was giving similar assistance during the early days of his career.
He said, “I will rather go buy a house rather than put money on these artistes that I’m not sure will be successful or not.
“The reason I am making music is for financial stability. My goal is to be able to be responsible and financially stable. In the beginning of my career, I wasn’t balanced. I suffered from pressure and anxieties.”
Meanwhile, Zlatan recently disclosed that he stopped smoking about four years ago.
The Bolanle crooner shared this during an open chat with fans on Snapchat after a follower asked him if he still smoked.
The father of one explained that questions about his smoking habits often come up, but he made the decision to quit years back.
He mentioned that the choice was personal and that he has no problem with people who still smoke.
