Davido was one of Zlatan’s groomsmen, and at one point he joined the rapper in pleading with the bride’s parents. On 24 October 2026, Zlatan married Davita, his partner of several years and the mother of his two sons, in Oniru, Lagos.

The Zanku star and Davita

Zlatan, born Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, rose with the Zanku dance and a run of street-pop hits. Davita, also known as Davita Omoniyi, is a UK-based media personality and entrepreneur who has kept a much lower profile.

The couple have two sons, Shiloh and Benaiah. In a teaser for their wedding film, Davita recalled that Zlatan was too shy to ask for her number and sent someone else to get it.

A civil wedding, then Lagos

In May 2026 a wedding decorator posted photos it described as the couple’s private civil ceremony, which neither had announced. On 8 October they confirmed their wedding date in a video in which one of their sons did the voiceover.

The Lagos celebration took place on Saturday, 24 October. For one look, Davita wore a burgundy Dova Bridals gown with red beadwork, coral and an okuku crown, and Zlatan a cream Deji & Kola outfit with coral beads and a carved staff. For the Yoruba look he changed into a mint green agbada, and she into pale yellow with a matching gele.

Guests

Davido sprayed dollars on the couple, and a clip of a DJ playing Wizkid’s “Ojuelegba” with Davido singing along spread quickly. Guests included Phyno, Teni, Peruzzi, Small Doctor, Iyabo Ojo, Broda Shaggi, Carter Efe, K1 De Ultimate, Cubana Chief Priest and Soso Soberekon.
