Zlatan Ibile gifts ₦1 million to a fan’s mother after hearing how his song inspired them.
The rapper’s gesture draws praise as he turns online encouragement into real-life support and hope.
Nigerian rapper and Zanku Records boss Zlatan Ibile has captured hearts online by gifting ₦1 million to the mother of a devoted fan who shared how his music inspired him during a challenging period.
The exchange began when Zlatan posted a snapshot of his song “Good Life” on X. A fan with the handle @_nimitheplug responded by recounting how the track moved him to tears in 2023 when he was struggling to afford basic necessities. “This song made me cry in 2023 when I could barely afford basic things, still hustling rn but I’m a bit better than then,” the fan wrote.
Zlatan replied with encouragement: “Thanks to GOD!!! Things will get even better 🙏🏿.” Inspired by this, the fan printed the rapper’s words on a shirt for himself and his mother, who wore a matching shirt with the inscription “Symbol of Hope.”
He then posted a photo of them together, thanking Zlatan for the motivation. Touched by the gesture, Zlatan surprised them by announcing, “1 million Naira for your mum!!! Check your DM.”
