Zanku master Zlatan Ibile almost suffered the humiliating experience of being refused to perform at actress Regina Daniels’ Children’s Day carnival in Delta State.
The rapper was billed to perform at the event but organizers refused to allow him on stage because of his recent arrest in connection with cyber fraud.
According to the organizers, allowing Zlatan to perform could send a wrong message to the public and also taint their brand since Zlatan was recently accused of engaging in cyber crimes.
Although, he has not been found guilty, the organizers felt it would have a negative effect on the impressionable children at the event.
Zlatan allegedly had to beg profusely to be allowed to perform in order to gain some much needed publicity for his damaged brand.
One of the organizers was however adamant and threatened to shut down the whole programme if the rapper was allowed to go on stage.
The matter was however settled when Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels’ mother were called to intervene and eventually Zlatan was allowed to perform.
