‘I lost my son, dad’ – Kizz Daniel shares story behind new song

Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, widely known as Kizz Daniel, has revealed the kind of relationship he had with his late father.

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.
