Kizz Daniel Steps Back From Music To Prioritize Family Life

Nigerian Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel has revealed he is taking a break from music to focus on his family. The singer, whose real name is Daniel Anidugbe, announced X (formerly Twitter), explaining that his family felt neglected due to his music commitments.

In a heartfelt message, he wrote, “No more recording for me …. Just enjoying life like it should be …. My family don diss me say I choose studio over them, I’m changing.” This post has sparked conversations online, especially among fans who have followed his journey closely.

Kizz Daniel also hinted at the possibility of retiring from music altogether, though not immediately. He said, “I have over 600 songs I want to dish out before I hang boot, so,” suggesting that he still has plans to release a large number of tracks before stepping away completely.

The announcement came as a response to a fan on X who commented on the singer’s fast-paced music releases. The fan reacted to the news of a new EP, Orange Chase, just a week after the release of his previous project, Lemon Chase. “VADO wan finish us with over feeding ,” the fan wrote humorously, using the singer’s nickname.

Kizz Daniel’s Lemon Chase EP includes collaborations with Nigerian stars like Fola, Bella Shmurda, and ODUMODUBLVCK. The seven-track project features songs like “Black Girl Magic,” “Titi,” and “Al-Jannah.” It serves as a preview of his upcoming album, Uncle K, which is expected to be a deeply personal project.

Christian Agadibe, CEO of Artmatazz Media, confirmed that Uncle K will explore themes of love, loss, peace, and enjoyment, with something for every listener.

What does this mean for fans?
While the news may be disappointing for fans who were excited about more frequent releases, it’s clear that Kizz Daniel is prioritizing his personal life. With 600 unreleased songs in the vault, he still has plenty of music to share before any official retirement.

Final Thought:
As Kizz Daniel takes a well-deserved break to reconnect with his family, fans can still look forward to Orange Chase and eventually Uncle K. His decision highlights the importance of striking a balance between personal and professional life — even for global stars.
