Nigerian rapper and singer, Zlatan Ibile has opened up on how he reacted after news broke that his friend and colleague, Oladips passed away.
It may be recalled that in November, Oladips management announced through his official IG page that he was dead, but it was later revealed to be a hoax.

Zlatan made this known through his Instagram story over the weekend while sharing a photo of himself crying.
The Hip Hop artiste added that he doesn’t care where Oladips had gone, but all that matters to him is that he returned back to the living.
“I cry tire!!! I no care where you go I thank GOD you sha come back!,” Zlatan wrote.
