Davita Recalls How Shy Zlatan Ibile Got Her Phone Number

Davita Lamai, partner of Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile, has revealed that the musician was too shy to approach her directly when he wanted to obtain her phone number at the beginning of their relationship.

Davita shared the story in the couple’s wedding film ahead of their wedding celebration scheduled for October 24, 2026.

According to her, Zlatan had to rely on another person to get her contact because he could not bring himself to ask for it personally.

“He was just to get my number. He asked somebody, like he’s very shy, like very, very. People will not believe it,” she said.

Her revelation offered a glimpse into the early days of their romance, highlighting a different side of the rapper, who is widely known for his energetic personality and lively performances.

Davita’s account also recalled Zlatan’s earlier comments about struggling to approach women, including Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage.

In a November 2019 interview, the rapper disclosed that Tiwa had blocked him on Instagram earlier that year. He explained that he had wanted to collaborate with her on the song Shotan but found it difficult to approach her because of his shyness.

Davita and Zlatan have been together for several years and share two sons.

The couple recently announced October 24, 2026, as the date for their wedding celebration in a video shared on social media.

Their wedding film has provided fans with personal details about their relationship, including how the romance began.

Davita’s account has drawn attention to the contrast between Zlatan’s confident public image and the shyness she says he displayed while pursuing her.
