According to the user, Zlatan could have seized the moment to educate his son about socio-economic class and not portray them as bad boys.

The user @maintishe also dragged the singer for faking an accent while communicating with his child when he could have maintained his Nigerian accent.

Other X users praised Tishe's post while airing their differing opinions about that moment with the singer and his son.
