Afrobeat sensation Kizz Daniel, born Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, recently revealed a heartbreaking chapter of his life.
The “Buga” hitmaker disclosed the profound loss of his beloved father, an experience that deeply shaped his music career.
During an emotional podcast conversation, the artist explained how his father’s passing inspired his soul-stirring tribute track titled ‘Al-Jannah’.
With raw honesty, he shared: “My father wasn’t just my dad – he was my closest companion, my confidant,” Kizz Daniel revealed.
The phrase ‘Al-Jannah’, translating to “paradise”, became my way of honoring his memory through music. This song isn’t just about my personal loss – life has taken many dear ones from us.
From losing our child in 2021 to bidding farewell to my father in 2015, followed by my wife grieving her mother earlier this year – the pain connects us all.
This track became my musical embrace for anyone mourning loved ones, which is why I chose universal lyrics about friendship rather than specific goodbyes.
In the end, I believe the song captures that shared human experience perfectly,” the vocalist reflected.
The painful milestone occurred on May 9, 2015 – merely days after the young artist celebrated his 21st birthday.
