Kizz Daniel recently addressed rumors surrounding his alleged lateness to a show, taking to social media to set the record straight.
The Nigerian music star clarified that he wasn't arrested or detained by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), but instead, he chose to leave the event due to non-payment issues.
According to Kizz Daniel, his team was promised payment upon arrival in Abidjan, but it never materialized. Despite this, he took the stage and performed for three minutes before his team was allegedly assaulted backstage, prompting him to exit the venue.
In a statement, Kizz Daniel emphasized that he wasn't treated fairly, saying, "I'm not arrested by CAF or detained whatsoever." He also announced his upcoming show in London at the Ovo Arena, Wembley, on November 13, 2023.
This isn't the first time Kizz Daniel has faced controversy surrounding his performances. In 2022, he addressed rumors about missing a show in Tanzania, citing an eight-hour delay in Nairobi and miscommunication with promoters. He apologized to fans and rescheduled the show.
Kizz Daniel has been focusing on his music career, recently releasing his EP 'TZA' and collaborating with other artists like Davido. His music continues to dominate African charts, solidifying his position as one of Afrobeats' most successful artists.
