Zlatan Ibile Criticizes Online Begging Culture

 

Nigerian music star Zlatan Ibile has kicked against online beggars.

 

He stated this during a recent appearance on Beat FM.

 

Zlatan called out social media users who go from one celebrity’s page to another begging for money.

 

He said: “I don’t mean to be petty but I know how people move on the internet. It’s like these people are just there from morning till night and they are under your activities wanting giveaways. I don’t know the reason but they always want. Just this afternoon I was just thinking to myself if these people are just online jumping from one celebrity to the other. I can’t talk too much sha before they remind me that I was once there.

 

“One particular day I was wondering how to help but I didn’t want to give random people money . So I went through people tweeting about their jobs and if I see that you say you’re a tailor but there’s nothing on your page about it, you must have posted about your services.

 

“There was this lady so I checked her page and searched my name only to see that she has said something about me in 2020. People were telling me to forgive her, and it’s easy for people to say but me I have the money to someone else”.
