Nigerian Afrobeat star Temidayo Omoniyi, better recognized as Zlatan Ibile, surprised fans with a personal revelation.
The ‘Gbeku’ hitmaker opened up about his lifestyle change in a candid Snapchat Q&A with followers.
When quizzed about his smoking habits, Zlatan disclosed he abandoned cigarettes four years prior.
“I get this question daily,” he shared. “The truth is I’ve been smoke-free since 2020—though I respect those who still indulge.”
The music industry has seen a wave of artists distancing themselves from tobacco, with stars like Peruzzi and Tekno publicly documenting their journeys to quit.
Notably, Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy successfully kicked the habit years ago, inspiring peers including Davido—who hinted at following suit in 2018.
