An X influencer, Lobistars, has defended Nigerian singer Zlatan Ibile amid the controversy surrounding Poco Lee’s detention in the United Kingdom.

Lobistars reacted to criticism of Zlatan by VeryDarkMan over the situation, questioning what the singer was expected to do after inviting Poco Lee for a UK show.

“Verydarkman Trying to paint Zlatan ibile bad for a situation pocolee found himself is very funny. He invited him for a UK show he paid for and alot of celebrities also stepped down when they heard burna boy is already handling the issue. What was Zlatan ibile supposed to do?”
