The Zanku crooner revealed that after winning the car, it took him another four years to achieve career success with the help of Olamide and Davido.

Zlatan recalled:

“I qualified among the two to go represent my school in the grand finale [of a music competition]. So, like tactically out of 140 candidates. With just two tracks, I just started rapping. I know nothing about music.

I just started writing and downloading beats online. And out of 140 people, I don’t know how God did it, I won a brand new car when I was 19 years old. My first semester in school.

“From there, I just sat down and said to myself, if I can win a brand new car, seems God is telling me something. I took it seriously from there.
