A popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as “Kizz Daniel” has debunked a viral report claiming that a court ordered the freezing of his personal accounts
He also said that court did not freeze his business accounts over a contract dispute.
The Chief Executive Officer of Artmatazz Media, a media company to the superstar, Christian Agadibe, has told newsmen, in Enugu on Thursday.
Agadibe said there were a widely spread story on social media, alleging that the Buga crooner was directed to pay €200,000 in damages for failing to honour a show despite receiving a $50,000 advance payment,.and that his accounts with Access Bank were frozen by court order.
He described the report as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to tarnish the artist’s reputation.
“This is a fluke and a big lie. Kizz Daniel has no such case in court, and no accounts have been frozen. We urge fans, partners, and the general public to disregard this fabricated story,” he said.
He stated that legal steps would be taken against those behind the fake report, emphasising that the artist remains focused on his music and upcoming shows.
“This is not the first time the singer has been the target of false rumours, but his management insists such distractions will not deter him from delivering quality music to his fans worldwide.
“Let’s not forget the facts: the Promoter of Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022 actively used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness along with that of other artists to sell tickets and build hype for a festival that ultimately never happened.
“Now, all traces of the event have mysteriously vanished from the internet. Social media pages deactivated. No accountability. No explanation.
So the question is simple: does the promoter not owe fans, ticket buyers, and the artists themselves an explanation? Why exploit the brand power of performers only to disappear when it’s time to deliver?
“Until those questions are answered, it is clear where the responsibility lies and it is not with the artists who were ready to perform, but with the Promoter who failed to uphold his own obligations,” he explained.
