‘She is the mother of my children, not my wife’: Zlatan Ibile speaks on relationship with partner, Davita Lamai.

Popular Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has sparked fresh conversations online after speaking candidly about his relationship with his partner, Davita Lamai.
The Zanku hitmaker took to Snapchat to address a message from a fan who casually referred to Davita, who is based in the United Kingdom, as his wife.
Zlatan was quick to clear the air, firmly stating that he is not married yet. While acknowledging their close bond, he explained that Davita is the mother of his children but not his wife at this point.
Responding directly to a Snapchat user identified as Olohitare, who asked, “I hope your wife is doing fine, sir?”,
Zlatan replied:
“She is the mother of my kids but she is not my wife yet. She is fine,”
The rapper shares two children with Davita Lamai. Their first child, Shiloh, was followed by their second, Benaiah, who celebrated his first birthday in November 2025.
Zlatan has never hidden his admiration and support for Davita. In July 2025, he proudly celebrated her academic success after she completed a Master’s degree at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
Reports at the time revealed that the rapper marked the milestone with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz, estimated to be worth between ₦100 million and ₦200 million. Zlatan was present at the graduation ceremony and openly expressed his pride, saying every penny spent on her education was worth it.
Davita Lamai’s graduation drew widespread attention online, with some reports noting that she graduated with honours. Beyond academics, Zlatan has also been known to celebrate her personal milestones lavishly.
In March 2024, he reportedly gifted her a Mercedes-Benz GLE valued at about ₦100 million to mark her 27th birthday.
Zlatan’s recent clarification has since fueled discussions online, with many applauding his honesty and the respectful way he addressed assumptions about his personal life.
