Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, is an Afrobeat singer and songwriter who has disclosed the nature of his connection with his deceased father.
In a podcast interview, he discussed how his song “Al-Jannah” was influenced by the passing of his late father.
“My dad was my best friend when he was alive,” Kizz Daniel claimed.
We’ve lost people in the past. We lost our son in 2021, adding that he wanted to write a tribute song, saying Al-Jannah’ means “paradise”.
I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people.
I wanted to make a song for everyone, not just one person. It’s about our loved ones we have lost in this journey of life.
“I think I was able to accomplish that by using the word friend in the song,” he said.
Kizz Daniel lost his father on the 9th of May, 2015, just a few days after his 21st birthday.
