Nigerian social media users have been waiting for Kizz Daniel or his representatives to address recent reports about a court case involving his assets.

Waploaded earlier claimed that a court ordered the Afrobeats singer to pay more than €200,000 (about ₦350 million) in damages after allegedly failing to perform at a scheduled show despite receiving a $50,000 advance.

To clarify the situation, Kizz Daniel’s management released an official statement rejecting the circulating stories as false.

The statement, titled “AFROBEATS MEETS BERLIN 2022 – THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER,” begins:

“It has come to our attention that a false and malicious narrative is being circulated with the sole aim of discrediting our Artist, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe professionally known as ‘Kizz Daniel’, and undermining his forthcoming Europe Tour.”

It continues:

“We state unequivocally that our Artist is a professional who upholds his contractual obligations and makes extraordinary sacrifices to ensure his fans worldwide enjoy his craft. By virtue of the duly executed Performance Agreement dated 27th July 2022, We were engaged to perform at the Afrobeats Meets Berlin concert on 24th September 2022.”

According to the team, problems arose because:

“The promoter, Kejuro Media & Entertainment, failed woefully to fulfill its fundamental obligations under the Agreement, including the procurement of visas and flights for our Artists and his team. Unsurprisingly, the event did not hold because it was ‘Cancelled’ by the promoter due to reasons never expressly communicated with us nor relating to us or our Artist.”

The statement explains that when the promoter tried to postpone the show:

“On 26th September 2022, the Promoter attempted to unilaterally reschedule the concert to 8th April 2023. We made it clear that any rescheduling, being occasioned by the Promoter’s own breach, could only be entertained on fresh commercial terms and would warrant no refund of deposit paid as expressly provided in the Agreement.”

And it concludes:

“Infact, by virtue of the signed Agreement, we are entitled to full payment in the event that such cancellation is at the instance of a breach by the Promoter. Despite the foregoing, we graciously agreed to a modest upward revision in fees, but the Promoter never regularized our engagement for the rescheduled date…”

@iamval26:”Make u sef talk truth sometimes , not this cut and paste evidence, what led to Kizz not showing up because we waited at the venue and ppl started breaking things at the venue when no artist came. You said teni and diamond platnumz were also booked, so why no issues with them. Only Kizz Daniel👀😒.”
