Popular Nigerian artist Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, also known as Zlatan Ibile, has reflected on the pivotal role of his collaborative song ‘My Body’ with Olamide in shaping his career.
Zlatan described Olamide’s contribution of a verse as a life-changing moment during a recent interview with popular YouTuber Korty EO.
Zlatan shared the persistence it took to secure the collaboration, recounting continuous efforts to reach out to Olamide via social media DMs despite initial disappointments.
Despite two failed appointments, the third proved to be the charm as the YBNL boss, Olamide, invited Zlatan to his house.
Expecting a rap collaboration, Zlatan was surprised when Olamide introduced an Afrobeats track, ‘My Body,’ recognizing its potential to elevate Zlatan’s fame.
Zlatan recorded his verse, and that unexpected twist marked a significant turning point in his career trajectory.
