The relationship between Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile and his partner, Davita Lamai, began with an unexpected move, as Davita has revealed that the musician was too shy to ask for her phone number himself.
She shared the detail in the couple’s wedding film ahead of their wedding celebration scheduled for October 24, 2026.
According to Davita, Zlatan approached another person to obtain her contact information because he could not bring himself to ask her directly.
She described him as very shy, saying the revelation might surprise people who know him mainly through his energetic performances and public appearances.
The story has provided a personal look at the early stages of their romance as the couple prepare to celebrate their marriage.

Zlatan’s reported shyness also brings to mind his previous account of struggling to approach Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage.
In a November 2019 interview, he disclosed that Tiwa had blocked him on Instagram earlier that year. He said he had wanted to collaborate with her on Shotan but found it difficult to approach her because of his shyness.
Davita and Zlatan have been together for several years and have two sons.
Their upcoming wedding celebration was announced in a video shared on social media, with October 24, 2026, set as the date.
The wedding film has attracted interest by offering fans a glimpse into their relationship beyond the public spotlight.
Davita’s revelation highlights the contrast between Zlatan’s lively stage personality and the reserved behaviour she says he displayed while trying to approach her.
As preparations for the celebration continue, the couple’s account of how their relationship developed has added a personal dimension to the public attention surrounding their upcoming wedding.
