Rapper Zlatan Ibile has advised upcoming artistes to be ready to hire professional psychologists to help manage their mental health once they achieve success.
The Zanku crooner gave the advice via his social media page on Thursday.
He urged up-and-coming artists and their sponsors to prioritise therapy expenses alongside marketing budgets.
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 message reckoned with sentiments that the music industry is “emotionally tasking.”
On the years, several Nigerian musicians have spoken up about falling into depression while navigating the music industry.
Recall that in 2022, singer, Omah Lay shared via his X handle that his depression worsened after he had a sexual affair with his therapist.
