It took me months to master my role in ‘Gangs of Lagos’ – Zlatan Ibile

Zlatan Ibile, a singer, revealed that it took him months to perfect his role in the film “Gangs of Lagos.”

In the crime thriller Kash, hip-hop artist Zlatan Ibile played a notorious gangster. He mentioned how difficult it was to play his part.

During a recent interview with media personality Samuel Eni, Zlatan revealed that it took him months to learn the karate moves for the film.

He also revealed that he temporarily stopped playing music so that he could concentrate on perfecting his role in the Gang of Lagos movie, which had its premiere on April 7, 2023.

He said, “I have always wanted to act. I had a picture in my head. But I didn’t want it to be just any kind of movie. So, when I was called up that they wanted me to be in a movie by Amazon Prime, I said, ‘Yes, this is the actual one I want.’

“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.”
