Kizz Daniel Reveals Real Reason He Took Break From Music

Nigerian singer Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has revealed that the recent break he took from music was prompted by the death of his mother earlier this year.

The Afrobeats star made the disclosure on Friday while responding to a fan on who had assumed that his reduced activity was connected to work on a new album.

The fan, @VicroyDominion1, suggested that Kizz Daniel had become less active because he was taking time to prepare an album. However, the singer clarified that his absence was not related to any music project.

According to Bush Radio Academy, Kizz Daniel explained that he deliberately stepped away from his regular music activities to grieve his mother and remain available to support other members of his family during the difficult period.

The singer also apologised to his fans for returning to music activities later than expected this year, stressing that his decision to take a break was necessary following the loss.

Kizz Daniel wrote that he had paused his career because of his mother and noted that despite the pain of her death, he had to remain strong for the rest of his family.

The singer has previously experienced other significant personal losses. His father died in 2015, while one of his triplets died in 2021.

Kizz Daniel also spoke in a 2025 interview about the death of his wife’s mother in 2024, explaining that his experiences with loss influenced the emotions behind his song, “Al-Jannah.”
