Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, better known as Kizz Daniel, has debunked a viral report claiming that a court ordered the freezing of his personal and business accounts over a contract dispute.
The story, which spread widely on social media, alleged that the Buga crooner was directed to pay €200,000 in damages for failing to honour a show despite receiving a $50,000 advance payment, and that his accounts with Access Bank were frozen by court order.
In a statement by his PR team, Kizz Daniel described the report as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation.
The statement read in part: “This is a fluke and a big lie. Kizz Daniel has no such case in court, and no accounts have been frozen. We urge fans, partners, and the general public to disregard this fabricated story.”
The statement further assured that legal steps would be taken against those behind the fake report, emphasizing that he is fully focused on his music and upcoming shows.
This is not the first time the singer has been the target of false rumors, but his management insists such distractions will not deter him from delivering quality music to his fans worldwide.
Giving the backyard facts, and to set the record straight, the team said: “The promoter of Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022 actively used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness along with that of other artistes to sell tickets and build hype for a festival that ultimately never happened.
“So, the question is simple: does the promoter not owe fans, ticket buyers, and the artistes themselves an explanation? Why exploit the brand power of performers only to disappear when it’s time to deliver?
Until those questions are answered, it is clear where the responsibility lies and it is not with the artistes who were ready to perform, but with the promoter who failed to uphold his own obligations.”
