‘Is that an artist’ – Zlatan Ibile denies knowing DJ Cuppy

During a recent interview on Soundcity’s ‘The Switch‘ show, Nigerian singer, Zlatan Ibile denied knowing DJ Cuppy.

In August 2019, the 28-year-old had enlisted Zlatan’s help to make “Gelato’- a song which became a viral hit.

The pair also performed the song at Cuppy’s charity event which held in Abuja in November 2019. Months after, Cuppy opened up on her strained relationship with Zlatan.

According to her, Zlatan had blocked her on WhatsApp and Instagram after the collaboration.

“10 months later and I sometimes still wonder why @Zlatan_Ibile blocked me on WhatsApp and Instagram without ever saying why; we were actually friends. And ‘Gelato’ was a hit!” Cuppy had written.

During the interview with Soundcity, Zlatan was asked about the feud and in his response, the singer left the audience stunned when he asked if Cuppy was an artiste. He also claimed he doesn’t know the DJ.

“Is that an artiste? I don’t know who that is,” Zlatan asked to everyone’s surprise.
