Nigerian Afrobeats star Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, better known as Kizz Daniel, has disclosed that the recent break in his music activities was due to the death of his mother earlier this year.
Daniel noted that the break was not because he was working on a new album.
The singer, also known as Vado D’Great, made the revelation on Friday in a reply to a fan on X.
The fan, @VicroyDominion1, had written, “I guess album really made you busy you had to pause for a while.”
Kizz Daniel responded, “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.”
The post attracted reactions from fans, many of whom offered condolences and prayers for his late mother and his family.
Among those who reacted was @Segunthomas9, who wrote, “May her soul rest in peace, mother’s love is the best.”
Kizz Daniel, known for songs such as “Woju” and “Buga,” has previously spoken about personal losses, including the death of his father in 2015 and one of his triplets in 2021.
In a 2025 interview, the singer also disclosed that his wife lost her mother in 2024, while discussing the personal losses that influenced his song “Al-Jannah.” Punch
