Cobi Weds Kat Dosa at Winery Near Prokuplje

Serbian rapper Slobodan Veljkovic Cobi married singer Katarina Kardozo, better known as Kat Dosa, on September 5. The wedding took place in secret, at a winery near Prokuplje, and the public found out only a day later, when footage from the celebration surfaced on social media.

Before the wedding, no one had officially confirmed that Cobi and Kat Dosa were even a couple. According to the portal Grand Online, the winery where the celebration was held sits at the foot of Jastrebac, not far from Prokuplje. The couple set aside a 17-year age gap without much fuss: Kat Dosa was born in 2002, while Cobi is considerably older.

The bride skipped the classic long wedding gown. Instead, she wore a short white dress covered in sequins. Cobi wore a white shirt and trousers, with no jacket or bow tie. By all accounts, the decor at the winery was simple, exactly the way the newlyweds wanted it.

The celebration followed a familiar order. The cake was cut first, then came the fireworks, and finally the trumpet players took over, keeping the couple and their guests dancing late into the night. Grand Online also reports a detail that caught guests’ attention: a Transformers mascot named Bambli showed up among the wedding party and drew the eye of both the newlyweds and the guests.

None of the outlets that covered the wedding reported how many guests attended. Cobi and Kat Dosa have not commented on the marriage, and by all appearances the couple managed to keep the ceremony out of public view right up until it was revealed.

Talk of a relationship between Slobodan Veljkovic and Kat Dosa first surfaced publicly in 2024, when it emerged that the rapper had co written the song she performed at Pesma za Evroviziju, Serbia’s Eurovision selection show. Cobi wrote the track “Tajni zacin” (Secret Spice) together with Bojana Vunturisevic, and according to media reports, working on that song is exactly what brought the two of them together. Kat Dosa performed “Tajni zacin” in the competition’s second semifinal that year, marking the first major performance of her career.

From 2024 onward, neither of them commented on their private relationship. Neither made any public statement about being together, which made the wedding at the winery near Prokuplje the first real confirmation, for many, that Cobi and Kat Dosa had actually been a couple, and serious enough about it to get married.

Before Kat Dosa, Slobodan Veljkovic Cobi was in a relationship that drew far more media attention, with blogger Jelena Nikolic. That relationship was a regular fixture in celebrity news at the time, in contrast with his relationship with Kat Dosa, which stayed almost entirely out of the public eye from start to finish.

Katarina Kardozo, the singer’s real name, has an unusual life story. Born in 2002, she grew up in Cacak but spent most of her life outside Serbia, in Portugal and South Africa. Her background is mixed: Serbian roots on her father’s side, Angolan roots on her mother’s. That journey, from Cacak through Lisbon and South Africa to the Pesma za Evroviziju stage, is part of what shaped her stage name, Kat Dosa, the one under which she became known to audiences in Serbia.

Neither Cobi nor Kat Dosa confirmed the date or location of the celebration before it was made public, so every detail, from the dress to the order of events, reached the public only through footage that appeared online after the ceremony.
