Kizz Daniel reveals family tragedy that made him take a break from music

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Kizz Daniel disclosed this year that his hiatus from the music industry was due to the loss of his mother. Responding to a fan's query on X, the artist clarified that his absence was not related to working on a new album. Instead, he emphasized that he took a break to cope with the recent death of his mother earlier this year.

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 follows Kizz Daniel's relative silence on the music scene throughout the year, despite his consistent releases and international performances in recent years.

His recent family loss, alongside the passing of his wife's mother in 2024, has led him to express his determination to support the rest of his family while continuing to move forward.
