Nigerian rapper and singer, Temidayo Omoniyi, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, has shared how he used the car he won from a music competition to survive financially while studying at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
In a conversation with popular content creator Shank Comics, the Zanku hitmaker reflected on his early struggles.
He recounted how he had to improvise to make ends meet despite winning the Airtel One Mic Talent Show.
“Back in school, when there was no money for food, I would just wait till night and use the car I won from the Airtel One Mic Talent show to run cab from Abeokuta to Shagamu for ₦350,” he revealed.
Zlatan explained that even after winning the talent competition, financial hardship persisted until his breakthrough in 2017 with the hit single “My Body,” featuring rap legend Olamide.
