Singer Zlatan Ibile lampoons troll for calling him an Ex-convict

Zlatan Ibile, a Nigerian singer, didn’t mince words when he criticized a Nigerian man for calling him an ex-convict.

The singer was referred to as an ex-convict by a Twitter user in a comment on a post.

“Zlatan sef na Ex-convict”.

The singer didn’t hesitate to lambast him, calling his father an Ex-convict.

“Na your papa be ex-convict no be me lol”.

Recall that the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials detained Zlatan Ibile in 2019 not long after detaining his close friend and associate Naira Marley.

His support for Naira Marley, who had issued a statement asserting that internet fraud is not a crime, led to his arrest.

Both musicians also released a song mocking the public’s perception of them as “Yahoo boys,” which aroused EFCC’s interest in their lifestyles.

“It took me months to go learn those Jet Li moves, Jackie Chan moves. It was stressful a little bit. I took out my time. I had to like pause recording music for a while. It took us like two months or so and then we rounded up [with the shooting of the movie]. The movie was shot in 2021.”
