Nigerian rapper, Zlatan Ibile, has advised up-and-coming artistes to prepare for the mental and emotional demands of fame by setting money aside for therapy.
The Zanku crooner shared the advice via his social media page on Thursday, stressing that therapy should be budgeted alongside marketing and promotions.
On his X handle, Zlatan wrote: “If you get brother or sister wey be fast rising artist and you believe say he or she go blow, as una dey keep money for marketing and promo make una dey keep therapist money for one side tooo cos lol!!!”
His statement comes as many Nigerian artistes have in recent years opened up about struggles with depression and mental health challenges in the music industry
