Popular Nigerian artist Ominiyi Temidayo, known professionally as Zlatan Ibile, has revealed how fatherhood reshaped his outlook on life. The musician explained that welcoming his son at age 25 marked a significant turning point.
Zlatan admitted the experience brought financial pressures, particularly when renting in London. He feared struggling with childcare costs amid industry uncertainties about his music career longevity.
“My son’s birth changed me profoundly,” Zlatan stated. “It made me realize life was becoming more serious. I felt unprepared financially.”
The artist confessed to regretting some past behaviors after embracing fatherhood. His new parental role prompted him to abandon certain habits.
Facing industry predictions about his relevance lasting only three years, Zlatan transformed his financial approach. “I became serious about money management,” he explained. “I cut spending and started saving specifically for essentials like diapers.”
