OMONIYI Temidayo Raphael, aka Zlatan Ibile, has recounted how rapper Olamide changed his music career for good by giving him a verse in his 2017 song “My Body”.
The 2017 collaboration between the two artists on the song was what changed Zlatan’s music career as the YBNL Boss gave him a verse that was life-changing.
Speaking in a recent interview with popular YouTuber, Korty EO, Zlatan said: “Olamide giving me a verse at that time was life-changing for me. I was always tracking him and begging him in the DM for a verse.
“He gave me appointments twice but they didn’t materialise until the third time. He invited me to his house and because I was doing more rap, I thought we would be doing a rap song, then all of a sudden, Olamide started singing an Afrobeats song, ‘My Body.’ He did that because he knew it was what would make me an instant star.
“I recorded my verse and that was how my story changed.”
The artist has gone ahead to become one of the biggest artists in Nigeria with many nominations and awards to show for it, as well as chart-topping albums and songs.
