Zlatan Ibile, the well-known Nigerian rapper, recently shared that his childhood ambition was to become a professional footballer. He had his sights set on playing for the prestigious La Liga club, Barcelona, especially after facing challenges with academics.

According to the ‘Zanku’ hitmaker, music wasn’t initially on his radar; it was more of an unexpected path he found himself on. Zlatan revealed in an interview with Echo Room that his journey into music began when a friend played one of his recorded songs, sparking his interest in the industry.

He said, “I was not a bright student in secondary school. I struggled with Mathematics and Accounting. I was in a Commercial class. I failed my WAEC and I was supposed to sit at home for a year. All my dream was to play for Barcelona.

“I tried my possible best but the corruption in Nigerian football discouraged me. I was playing for a local club then. When I failed WAEC, I was going to sit down at home for a year, and then one of my friends came and played his record for me.

“I told him to take me to the studio the next time he was going. That was how I became a musician. I never had the intention of being a musician.”

“I no sabi book, I failed. All my dreams was to play for Barcelona”
