He revealed that he constantly messaged Olamide on social media, begging for a chance to work together. Despite facing initial disappointments, Zlatan's determination paid off in the end.

Zlatan explained that Olamide initially gave him two appointments, but they didn't work out. However, on the third attempt, Olamide invited Zlatan to his house.

Olamide knew that this genre would instantly make Zlatan a star.

Zlatan eagerly recorded his verse for 'My Body', and that's when everything changed for him. The song became a hit, and Zlatan's career skyrocketed. He went from being an aspiring artist to a recognized star in the music industry.
