ENTERTAINMENT; WHY I DIDN’T FEATURE NAIRA MARLEY ON MY ALBUM –ZLATAN

RAPPER and originator of the Zanku dance,
Temidayo Omoniyi a.k.a Zlatan Ibile, has said he
saw no reason to have his intimate friend, Naira
Marley, on his debut album, Zanku.
Zlatan held a listening party for Zanku, which
means Zlatan Abeg No Kill Us. The Zanku album
which was released on Friday, November 1, is a
17-track album which features top musicians like
Davido, Tiwa Savage, Patoranking Barry Jhay,
rising artiste – Papisnoop among others with
production credit by Rexxie, Speroach Beatz,
Kiddominant, Spells, Miraqulous, P Prime and
mixed by Spyrit mix.
“The reason why Naira Marley is not on the
album is because there is no reason” said Zlatan
when asked why Naira Marley was missing on
the list of collaborations.
“Everybody knows he is my friend but this is my
selection. It is not really about what people have
to say despite we are friends, I have my way and
I have my selections. It has nothing to do about
our friendship, this is just the Zanku Album and it
is my selection. ”
Zlatan, however, disclosed that he and Naira
Marley are working on a joint album which is
expected to drop next year.
“We have a joint album coming out in 2020 so
that’s not a serious issue.”
One of the founders of Alleluyah Boyz
Entertainment, the label Zlatan is signed on,
Ambassador Irabor Lawrence, said that bringing
Zlatan on board has been worth it.
“He is an hard working guy,” he said.
“I believe in him and he also believes in the
label. We already had relationship even before he
signed the contract and he had over two hundred
thousand follows on Instagram so he already has
the platform.”
