2 years ago, in June of 2020, Nigerian singer Zlatan Ibile went on a random Instagram rant where he called out a number of musicians including Kizz Daniel, Burna Boy, and Joeboy and said some choice words about them.

About Joeboy, Zlatan posted on his story: “Joeboy fit sabi sing E fit get numbers pass me ! Does he know about the music business or he is just famous“

At the time when Zlatan wrote this about Joeboy, Joeboy said nothing. In fact, Joeboy has not once talked about this post at all. Not until now.

During a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, Joeboy and Chude got into a conversation about Zlatan’s rant and Joeboy finally opened up about how he felt about it and what he has to say about it now. Joeboy also on a lighter note talked about his method of dating now that he is a big celebrity. Here’s what he said.

Without further ado, here is the relevant excerpt of the conversation between Joeboy and Chude.

Chude: Is it true that Zlatan said you don’t understand the music business?

Joeboy: I swear down. Yeah, he said it.

Chude: So how did you take it?

Joeboy: Anybody can say what they want to say. Yes now, the truth is I can say that the sun is red, but is the sun red? The sun knows it’s not red so anybody can say what they want to say. I know what I’m about.

Chude: But what was that about?

Joeboy: I actually have no idea.

Chude: You guys haven’t had any beef?

Joeboy: Nope. I don’t do beef. I don’t do beef at all.

Chude: So that just came out of nowhere?

Joeboy: Yeah, it just came out of nowhere. It was around the pandemic and I’d already gotten to that stage (where these types of things stopped bothering me), that’s why I didn’t reply, I didn’t respond, I didn’t say anything.

Chude: And what did your guys around you say when this happened?

Joeboy: I can’t say it on camera (laughs).

Chude: On a different note, what is it like to be a star in this time and date? Like how do you meet people that you know aren’t just meeting you for clout?”

Joeboy: I still meet people. I have some factors that I gauge in my head before (I approach). When I see someone’s page, there are some things I will check out from her post that will make me to know okay, this person is like this, this person is like that. I’m a very observant person. I will know. I’m this type of person that I read people cuz I’m quiet so I can just let you talk for an hour and I will know, I will have an idea of what you’re about. So even from a page, I can know is it this person I want to DM? I could even send you a message, from your response, I will know the kind of person you could be.

Chude: Are you even able to send people messages these days?

Joeboy: I do it sometimes if I’m feeling good or I’m feeling some type of way. Sometimes you just have to live man, you can’t be too uptight. If I send you a DM and I say hi, what’s the worst that you could make of it? Okay Joeboy said hi, and so?
