Nigerian music sensation Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Daniel Anidugbe, has sparked discussions in the music industry by urging fellow artists to prioritize their craft over chasing top positions on streaming charts.

The Buga crooner took to social media to share his thoughts, emphasizing that the race for number-one songs has become unproductive, as streaming figures on some platforms often don’t align with numbers on others.

Kizz Daniel challenged his colleagues to focus more on creating timeless music rather than relying on social media algorithms or manipulated figures to dominate charts.

In his post, he referenced American rapper Killer Mike, a four-time Grammy Award winner, noting that his success is built on consistent hard work and not necessarily viral or chart-topping tracks.

Kizz Daniel wrote, “Leave social media algorithms, focus on your craft.

Have you ever heard of a guy called Killer Mike? Guess not… 4 four-time Grammy winner.

Stop chasing number 1 songs; it’s meh now. Everything can be controlled.

Most of those songs’ numbers don’t correlate on other platforms… check.”

He also clarified his stance on the use of bots and stream farming to boost numbers on digital platforms.

While he acknowledged that it’s a form of marketing and not inherently wrong, he noted that it is more suitable for emerging artists who need visibility and not for already-established stars.

He further encouraged younger artists to release their music without fear of low streams, urging them to focus on making impactful art that resonates with audiences over time.

“Farming isn’t a crime; it’s marketing for placements and all… but it’s for those who can afford it,” he explained.

“We’re not shading anybody here before you start, just trying to push the new generation to drop those hidden gems. I won learn.”

Kizz Daniel’s statements reflect the growing debate in the music industry about the authenticity of streaming numbers and the pressure on artists to maintain a digital presence.

South African pop sensation and Grammy winner Tyla has opened up about her long-awaited collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats icon Wizkid. She revealed that their track Dynamite was actually recorded three years ago—long before her big break.

Speaking in a recent chat with Capital Xtra in London, Tyla shared how much the song meant to her. “Back then, I was still new and barely known. I didn’t think Wizkid would be interested in working with me, but he was. He listened to some of my early stuff, liked it, and we ended up making Dynamite,” she said. “I’ve been dancing to that demo in my room for years, dreaming of the day I’d finally get to release it.”

Tyla also praised Wizkid for his massive impact on African music, saying, “He’s done so much to spotlight our sound and our creatives to the world. He’s incredibly talented, and honestly, I don’t think he has a single bad song.”
