Popular Nigerian singer and rapper, Zlatan Ibile, has responded to viral reports that Segun Wire has returned to the streets to beg.

Bear in mind that it all started when an Instagram user @oreinlofty called out Zlatan Ibile on social media and claimed he used Segun Wire to make money and then left him.

Ore used his Instagram page to also post a video of Segun walking around the streets, and wrote;

“Zlatan IBILE na bastard, so na FAKE LIFE him dey make this boy live for INSTAGRAM???!! I met the innocent boy HOVERING on STREET and his Street friends confirmed it.

Zlatan IBILE is only using the boy for his personal pocket… The poor boy looks dirty and unkempt on STREET… Begging for common food to eat from people on STREET…

I actually gave him a little change from what I’ve got!! I swear this is not fair on the boy and his family, his elder brother looked the same, confirming it that @zlatan_ibile only comes from time to time to carry him away whenever he needs him to make money, money he won’t share with him (Segun) at the end.

So if people think this @segun_wire boy is living a life of GLAMOUR I swear you are f*cking mistakes!! Shout out to all those bastards that make people think they are helping the helpless through social media while in real life, it’s all BULLSHIT”

Now Zlatan Ibile has responded to that call, tagging Ore as an unscrupulous element, someone who is just trying to smear Segun’s brand and Zlatan’s name.

He shared a video of Segun at his school and a video of Segun’s mother debunking rumors that her son has started begging again…

Zlatan also showed off Segun’s school fees receipt.

He wrote;

“#SEGUNWIRE In appreciation to those who showed concern regarding the brand Segun Wire, we say a very big thank you for the consistent support. “

“However, addressing the controversial issues which went viral last night got a lot of people speculating out of ignorance. I would inform you all that Segun Wire is in good hands. “

“He went over the weekend to spend time with the mum which gave chance for an ignorant nuisance seeking for 30 minutes fame to do that, but we promise with immediate effect of the boy’s security against such shenanigans to ever repeating itself. “

“Furthermore Zlatan Ibile’s brand has done nothing more but show support to a boy who’s not even his siblings by rendering it upon himself to take care of his education without anybody’s support, which he is still doing regardless. So one seeking fame trying to bring another man’s reputation down isn’t healthy. “

“Segun is currently in school developing himself in education with all standards of expanding further than the street identity. “

“So please people let the boy be so he can focus. And we would like to assure you that the brand-coded records entertainment in conjunction with Zlatan Ibile is working with Segun wire’s school to improve the boy further. “

“That’s all it is, God helps the boy with the 30-minute fame. At least Segun Wire’s brand has assisted the needy in trending to his delight. Now we move to more exciting projects coming up.”

“Unilorin are you ready Segun Wire is going to be live Dec 1st at the event with Kunbi black? Blessings.”
