Popular Nigerian rapper and entrepreneur Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, widely known as Zlatan Ibile, has publicly shut down a circulating rumour concerning his relationship with his baby mama, Davita Lamai.
The clarification came on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, when the Zanku Records founder took to his official X account to address a viral post that had been widely shared across social media platforms.
The controversial post, which was falsely attributed to Zlatan, claimed that Davita Lamai is the mother of his child but not his wife, a statement that quickly sparked online debates and speculation. Responding to the claim, the rapper made it clear that the post did not originate from him, describing it as fake and misleading.
Zlatan also called out social media users who believed and shared the message without verifying its authenticity, stressing that he had no involvement in the post whatsoever.
The Afrobeat artiste, known for his distinct sound and energetic dance style, welcomed a son with Davita Lamai in 2020. Since then, the pair have largely kept their relationship private, choosing to stay away from public attention.
