Zlatan made the disclosure while speaking in a recent interview with popular YouTuber, Korty EO.
He stated that he was always keeping tab of Olamide’s activities, especially on social media.
He 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 revealed that he met Olamide on his third attempts after the first two appointments fell through.
“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.”
