RO-NMO 2019 Problem 111

Let $n \geq 2$ and $A, B \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ such that there exists an idempotent matrix $C \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ for which $C^*=AB-BA.$ Prove that $(AB-BA)^2=0.$ Note: $X^*$ is the [url = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjugate_matrix]adjugate[/url] matrix of $X$ (not the conjugate transpose)
