Afrobeat superstar Kizz Daniel has shut down viral claims circulating online that a court had frozen his personal and business bank accounts over a contractual dispute.

Management Reacts

In a strongly worded statement released on Thursday, September 25, 2025, Kizz Daniel’s management branded the reports as “false, misleading, and a calculated attempt to damage the singer’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 read.

The team emphasized that the ‘Buga’ crooner remains fully focused on his music career and upcoming international performances.

Legal Action in the Works

Kizz Daniel’s camp further revealed plans to take legal steps against those responsible for spreading the fake report.

“This is not the first time the artist has been targeted with false rumours. But such distractions will not derail him from delivering quality music to his global fanbase,” the statement continued.

The Backstory – Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022

To provide context, the management revisited the Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022 controversy, clarifying that the promoter of the event had used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness alongside other artists to push ticket sales for a festival that never materialized.

According to the statement, Kizz Daniel was ready and willing to perform, but the promoter “failed to uphold his own obligations,” a failure that later gave rise to multiple false narratives against the singer.

Conclusion

With the official statement now out, Kizz Daniel has once again proven that not all viral headlines should be believed. Fans can look forward to his upcoming shows and new music releases, as the artist continues to dominate the Afrobeats scene globally.
