Afrobeat singer and songwriter Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, aka Kizz Daniel, has opened up about losing his dad and son.
Speaking in a podcast interview, he shared how the death of his late father had inspired his song ‘Al-Jannah’.
According to him, “When my dad was alive, he was my best friend,” Kizz Daniel said.
‘Al-Jannah’ means “paradise”. I wanted to write a tribute song. We’ve lost people in the past. We lost our son in 2021.
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.

Kizz Daniel, who released New Era on May 14, 2016, under G-Worldwide, reflected on the journey, noting long studio nights and meditative moments that led to this victory.
He thanked his fans for their unwavering support, stating the significance of owning his catalog.
He wrote,
“From long nights in the studio to several meditations, finally, I now own every song on the ‘New Era album’ 2016 + Yeba & Sofa (singles).
“I got my masters back. This means more than words can explain. Thank you for riding with me. #NewEra #MyCatalog #Grateful.”
The artist left G-Worldwide in November 2017 to establish his label, Flyboy I.N.C., a move that sparked a legal dispute with G-Worldwide’s boss, Emperor Geezy and Kizz Daniel was later acquitted of all charges.
Kizz Daniel appointed Emperor Geezy as CEO of Flyboy I.N.C. in 2023, signalling a reconciliation.
