Popular Afrobeats star Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, better known as Kizz Daniel, has categorically denied viral reports claiming his bank accounts were frozen by court order.
The “Buga” hitmaker issued a stern rebuttal on Thursday through an official statement, branding the widespread claims as completely fabricated and malicious.
The controversy erupted when unverified reports circulated on social media alleging that Kizz Daniel had been ordered to pay €200,000 in damages, resulting in the freezing of his financial assets.
The story rapidly spread across various entertainment platforms, causing considerable alarm amongst the singer’s fanbase and business associates within the music industry.
“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,” his management declared in the statement.
The artist’s representatives emphasised their commitment to addressing what they described as deliberate misinformation aimed at tarnishing his professional reputation.
Entertainment industry analysts suggest the false reports could potentially impact the singer’s upcoming projects and international collaborations.
Kizz Daniel, who rose to prominence with hits including “Woju” and “Lie”, has established himself as one of Nigeria’s most successful Afrobeats exports with a substantial global following.
The 30-year-old musician has consistently maintained a clean public image throughout his career, making the recent false allegations particularly concerning for his brand value.
His legal team indicated they are considering appropriate action against sources responsible for spreading the unsubstantiated claims.
The incident highlights ongoing challenges faced by Nigerian entertainers regarding the rapid spread of unverified information on digital platforms.
Industry stakeholders have called for greater verification of entertainment news before publication to protect artists’ reputations and business interests.
Kizz Daniel’s fanbase, known as “VadoBoys” and “VadoGirls”, have rallied behind the artist, expressing support across various social media channels.
