Kizz Daniel Urges Artists to Focus on Music Not Charts
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.
Every artist has that one song that takes their career to another level. While we may all have different favourites, these are the biggest global hits that topped charts, broke records, and earned billions of streams worldwide.
