No one knew Zlatan Ibile last year – Davido

Pop singer, Davido, has said that no one knew Zlatan Ibile when he invited him to Dubai for a show in 2018.

Zlatan, winner of best new act, song of the year, and best collaboration with Burna Boy on hit song, ‘Killin Dem’ at AFRIMA 2019 held in Dallas, Texas, US, has become a household name since then.
