Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has broken his silence after coming under criticism over his alleged lack of support for dancer Poco Lee following his arrest in the United Kingdom.

They argued that genuine friendship should be visible during difficult periods and not only during moments of celebration.

The discussion left some Nigerians asking whether Zlatan owed Poco Lee public support, particularly given the circumstances surrounding the dancer’s trip to the UK.

But the debate also raises a different question: should an artiste be expected to publicly intervene whenever a friend or associate faces legal trouble?

Amid the growing conversation, Zlatan took to X on Tuesday, September 15, with a brief message.

“Crazy industry,” he wrote.

The rapper did not directly mention Poco Lee or VDM, nor did he explain whether the post was a response to the criticism.
