His remarks highlight ongoing conversations around the emotionally demanding nature of the music business and how the public perceives it.
Over the years, several Nigerian artists have publicly shared their struggles with depression and anxiety while navigating fame.
New Telegraph recalls that in 2022, singer Omah Lay revealed that his battle with depression worsened after a personal incident involving his therapist.
Zlatan’s message has since sparked online reactions, resonating with fans and industry watchers who agree that the pressures of stardom often take a toll on artists’ mental health.
