Kizz Daniel Takes Break from Music Following Mother's Death

Nigerian singer Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, known as Kizz Daniel, disclosed that his recent hiatus from music was a result of his mother's death earlier this year. He clarified this during an interaction with a fan on 𝕏, who mistakenly assumed his absence was due to working on a new album.

Kizz Daniel explained that he needed time away from his music activities to cope with the loss and to remain strong for his family. He expressed his apologies to fans for not being active this year, stating, “I paused for my Mom, not an album … Lost her this year, but I gotta keep moving for the rest of the family … sorry I came late this year.” Kizz Daniel has faced multiple personal losses, including the death of his father in 2015 and one of his triplets in 2021.

He also mentioned the death of his wife’s mother in 2024 during a 2025 interview, linking these experiences to the emotions reflected in his song "Al-Jannah.".
