Nigerian street-hop star Zlatan Ibile has opened up on a personal experience involving his parents, revealing that they once rejected a house gift he bought for them.

 

The “Zanku” crooner shared that his parents initially doubted his source of wealth, which led to them refusing to accept the property.

 


💬 What Zlatan Ibile Said

According to Zlatan, his parents were skeptical about how he made his money at the time, especially considering how fast his success came.

 

He explained that their concerns were rooted in fear and parental responsibility, as they wanted to be sure their son was not involved in anything illegal.

 

Speaking in a recent episode of the YACN podcast, the Zanku crooner said after he gained prominence in 2019, he bought a house for his parents in a Lagos highbrow neighbourhood, Lekki, but they refused the gift because they were unsure of the source of his wealth, which appeared sudden to them.

 

The singer said his parents didn’t believe he acquired the expensive mansion with just musical earnings.

“When I blew up in 2019, I bought my first house in Lekki and decided to gift it to my parents. I called them on the phone and asked them to come and they were like, ‘A house? That’s not possible. Are you doing something else apart from music? How did you buy a house worth millions in the space of one year?’,” he recalled.

 

Zlatan said his parents’ suspicion made him feel bad because he was prioritising them and they were doubting him.

 

He said his parents requested for time to do a seven-day prayer to know whether they should come or not.

 

The rapper said he had to print his statement of account and present evidence of his music earnings before his parents accepted the house.

 

He urged parents to find out the source of their children’s wealth before accepting flamboyant gifts from them.
