Zlatan speaks on academic failure
Legit.ng earlier reported that Zlatan Ibile shared how a painful academic disappointment became the spark that launched his music career.
Speaking on Apple Music 1 with South African host Nandi Madida, the Zanku hitmaker said his poor performance in mathematics and accounting stopped him from securing admission into university back in 2011.
According to the rapper, that setback was heartbreaking but later became the turning point that defined his life.
