Rapper Zlatan Ibile has revealed that he is hesitant to invest in emerging artists due to the high risk of uncertain returns. 

In a recent interview with Adesope, Zlatan stated that he prioritises financial stability and prefers to invest in tangible assets, rather than taking a chance on new talent.

“I will rather go buy a house rather than put money on these artists that I’m not sure will be successful or not,” he said.

Zlatan, who has experienced pressure and anxiety early in his career, emphasised that he is in the music industry strictly for business. 

“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,” he said.

He revealed his willingness to also collaborate with up-and-coming artists, drawing from his own experience of receiving help when he was starting out.

To cope, Zlatan said he adopted a stricter approach to his finances, cutting unnecessary expenses and saving for essentials like diapers.

According to him, fatherhood also prompted personal growth, leading him to regret past behaviors and shed certain habits.

“The birth of my son changed me. It made me realise that life was getting more serious. I wasn’t prepared. I started paying house rent in London at 25. I was scared I might not be able to keep up with the bills because some people were saying I might not be relevant in the music industry for more than three years.

“I became more serious with managing my finances. Limited spending and started saving for diapers,” he said.

In an interview with popular streamer Shank Comics, the Zanku crooner opened up about his challenging days, revealing how financial hardship persisted, forcing him to improvise.

“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 recalled.

Despite his early success in the talent show, Zlatan’s breakthrough came in 2017 with his hit song “My Body,” featuring ace rapper Olamide.

In a previous interview, the Zanku Music boss described the collaboration as a pivotal moment in his career, crediting Olamide for delivering a “life-changing” verse that propelled him to stardom.
