Afrobeat singer, Temidayo Omoniyi Raphael also known as Zlatan, has revealed how YBNL founder, Olamide, had given him a breakthrough in his music career.
In a recent interview with YouTuber Korty EO, he revealed how his collaboration in 2017 had changed his career.
He said Olamide had given him three appointments and two had failed. He said the third one had resulted in a collaboration.
Zlatan said he thought the rap boss had wanted him to rap but he gave him an Afrobeat song instead.
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 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.”
