Kizz Daniel debunks report of court freezing his bank accounts

Nigerian music superstar, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has debunked a viral report claiming that a court ordered the freezing of his personal and business accounts over a contract dispute.

The report, which spread widely on social media, alleged that the Buga hitmaker 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.

In a statement released on Thursday, September 25, 2025, Kizz Daniel’s team described the report as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to tarnish the artist’s reputation.

“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,” the statement partly read.

The singer’s team vowed to take legal action against those behind the fake report, emphasising that the artist remains focused on his music and upcoming shows.

The team noted that this isn’t 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.

They recalled that the promoter of Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022 actively used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness, along with those of other artists, to sell tickets and build hype for a festival that ultimately never happened.

The statement added that Kizz Daniel was ready to perform, but the promoter “failed to uphold his own obligations.”
