Popular rapper Zlatan Ibile has recounted how he used the car he won from a competition as a nighttime cab to make ends meet. He recently opened up on challenging times while studying at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Speaking during an interview with popular streamer Shank Comics, Zlatan shared that as financial hardship persisted, he was forced to keep improvising.
According to him, he won the car after participating in the Airtel One Mic Talent show, and the money he got from using it as a cab helped him feed from time to time.
“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 N350,” he said.
Despite his early success in the talent show, Zlatan’s breakthrough came in 2017 with his hit song “My Body,” featuring ace rapper Olamide.
Zlatan described the collaboration as a pivotal moment in his career, stressing that Olamide’s life-changing verse propelled him to stardom.
