Nigerian artist Zlatan Ibile has disclosed that he fell into music by accident and that his dream has always been to play for FC Barcelona.
Zlatan Ibile revealed that his dream job was to be a football player after he struggled in secondary school. However, he claimed that the football system was corrupt, which prevented that dream from coming true.
According to the “Zanku” crooner, his musical career began when he requested a buddy to accompany him to a studio after the friend played him a song that the friend had recorded.
“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”, Zlatan Ibile told Echo Room.
“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.”
