Nigerian singer Ominiyi Temidayo, better known as Zlatan Ibile, has opened up about how becoming a father at 25 changed his perspective on life.
The ‘Zanku’ crooner, in a recent episode of the Is This A Safe Space? podcast, said the birth of his son made him realise that life was getting serious, but he was unprepared for it.
According to Zlatan, the birth of his son also affected his finances, admitting that at one point he was afraid he could not keep up with the costs of raising the child in London.
Zlatan also stated that he regretted some of his previous actions after welcoming his son, adding that the new phase of fatherhood refrained him from some habits.
He said, “The birth of my son changed me. It made me realise that life was getting more serious. I wasn’t prepared. I started paying house rent in London at 25. I was scared I might not be able to keep up with the bills because some people were saying I might not be relevant in the music industry for more than three years.
“I became more serious with managing my finances. Limited spending and started saving for diapers.”
