‘I lost my son, dad’ - Kizz Daniel shares story behind new song

Nigerian music artist Kizz Daniel has denied reports that his personal and business accounts were frozen by a court over a contract dispute. The claims, which spread on social media, alleged that the singer was ordered to pay €200,000 in damages for failing to perform after receiving a $50,000 advance. In a statement released by Kizz Daniel’s team on September 25, 2025, the report was called entirely false and intended to damage the artist’s reputation. The team clarified that Kizz Daniel is not involved in any such court case and that none of his accounts have been frozen, urging fans, partners, and the public to disregard the fabricated story.

Kizz Daniel’s management has vowed to take legal action against those responsible for spreading the false report. They emphasized that the artist remains committed to his music and upcoming performances. This is not the first time the singer has been targeted by rumors; his team insists that such distractions will not affect his ability to deliver quality music to fans worldwide.

A similar incident occurred when the promoter of Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022 used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness to promote a festival that ultimately did not take place. The singer’s team noted that he was ready to perform, but the promoter failed to fulfill his obligations.

The denial comes as Kizz Daniel continues to build on his success in the music industry. With a significant following in Africa and internationally, he has become a prominent figure in the Afrobeats genre. His management’s swift response aims to protect his reputation and reassure fans that he remains focused on his music and upcoming shows. The episode underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it on social media to prevent the spread of misinformation.
