I Lost My Son, Dad – Kizz Daniel Reveals Story Behind His New Song

Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe aka Kizz Daniel has opened up on a personal tragedy.

According to him, he lost his 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.
