Popular Nigerian rapper and performer, Zlatan Ibile, has sparked conversation online after publicly declaring his refusal to financially invest in up-and-coming musical talents. The artiste stated that he prioritizes his own financial stability over what he considers a risky venture.
Speaking candidly during a recent appearance on the popular online interview show, *Adesope Live*, Zlatan explained his controversial stance. He emphasized that the music industry is a business for him, and he is unsure if investing in new artistes would yield any profitable return.
“I will rather go buy a house rather than put money on these artistes that I’m not sure will be successful or not,” he said during the interview. He further elaborated on his primary motivation, stating, “The reason I am making music is for financial stability. My goal is to be able to be responsible and financially stable.”

The "Zanku" crooner reflected on his own difficult journey to stardom, acknowledging the pressures he faced. “In the beginning of my career, I wasn’t balanced. I suffered from pressure and anxieties,” he revealed, suggesting that these experiences have shaped his current pragmatic approach to his finances and career.
However, Zlatan did clarify that his refusal to provide financial backing does not mean he is unwilling to support new acts in other ways. He expressed a readiness to collaborate with up-and-coming artistes, noting that he benefited from similar assistance while he was climbing the ranks of the industry. This distinction highlights a difference between offering a platform through collaboration and making a direct financial investment, which he views as too uncertain.
His comments have ignited a debate among fans and industry watchers, with many discussing the responsibilities of established stars towards the next generation and the very real financial risks involved in artiste management and development.
