Nigerian musician Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, recently sparked diverse reactions online with a social media post.

On his X account, Zlatan offered advice to the families and supporters of emerging artists. He suggested that if they have a budding musician they believe has the potential to make it big, they should not only save money for marketing and promotion but also consider setting aside funds for therapy.

Although Zlatan delivered his message with a humorous tone, he did not elaborate on the reasoning behind his recommendation.

In his words:

“If you get brother or sister wey be fast rising artist and you believe say he or she go blow as una dey keep money for marketing and promo make una dey keep therapist money for one side tooo cos lol !!!”
