Kizz Daniel Takes Music Break Due to Mother's Death

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, disclosed that he took a break from music activities in 2026 due to the death of his mother earlier that year. He clarified this in a response to a fan on X, who mistakenly assumed he was busy working on a new album.

Kizz Daniel explained, “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.” This statement provided insight into his relatively quiet presence in the music scene during 2026, indicating that his break was connected to bereavement rather than a planned project. Kizz Daniel has faced several personal losses, including the death of his father in 2015 and one of his triplets shortly after birth in 2021.

Despite these challenges, he expressed the need to continue moving forward for his family's sake, apologizing to fans for his delayed return to music.
