Zlatan’s Father Is A Redeem Pastor?! 😳| Watch Video

Yep, we were also as shocked or better put, surprised, when we heard with our own ears from the Zanku singer and dancer that he’s from a very religious background. This information was released to the press on Thursday, the 31st of October where the Zanku singer was talking about being perceived as an artiste that creates one particular sound whereas he can do other kinds of music.
