Kizz Daniel Pauses Music To Prioritise Family

Abuja, Nigeria – June 8, 2025 – Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Kizz Daniel, has sent ripples through the music industry with a recent announcement revealing his decision to take a hiatus from recording new music. The “Buga” crooner cited a heartfelt reason for the pause: a desire to spend more quality time with his family, who have reportedly felt overlooked due to his relentless studio schedule.

In a candid post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the prolific artist, born Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, shared his family’s sentiments. “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,” he wrote, indicating a shift in his priorities.

The news comes hot on the heels of the recent release of his “Lemon Chase EP,” a project that quickly garnered attention with tracks like “Black Girl Magic,” “Titi” featuring Fola, and “Al-Jannah” with Bella Shmurda and ODUMODUBLVCK. Despite teasing yet another upcoming EP, “Orange Chase,” which promises further collaborations, Kizz Daniel’s focus has evidently turned inward.

Known for his consistent hit-making ability and a seemingly endless well of creativity, Kizz Daniel also hinted at a potential future retirement from active music creation. He revealed that he possesses an astonishing catalogue of over 600 unreleased songs, which he intends to “dish out before I hang boot.” This suggests that while new recording may be on hold, fans can still anticipate a steady stream of fresh material from the Vado D’Great in the coming months and possibly years, allowing him to gradually release his accumulated works.

The announcement has sparked a mix of reactions from fans and industry observers. While some express disappointment at the temporary halt in new recordings from one of Afrobeats’ most consistent hitmakers, many others commend his decision to prioritize family well-being. This move highlights the growing trend of artists openly discussing the challenges of balancing demanding careers with personal life, offering a relatable perspective to his massive fanbase.

As Kizz Daniel steps back from the studio to reconnect with his loved ones, the Afrobeats landscape awaits the measured release of his extensive unreleased works, knowing that the “King of Love” is now focused on cherishing his own.
