Nigerian artiste, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has revealed that he is half Fulani.
The Ogun-born star revealed this via his X handle on Tuesday.

DailyTrust reports that the disclosure follows the release of one of his latest singles, “Twe Twe” – a song some netizens claimed is a calculated and audacious attempt by the music star to break into the ultra conservative northern region and capture the heart of music lovers there.
The song is accompanied by a fast beat that’s synonymous with the swift but rhythmical beat used in many contemporary northern songs.
Kizz Daniel rose to fame in 2014 with his debut single, “Woju”.
He signed a record deal with G-Worldwide Entertainment in 2013, but left the label following a publicized contract dispute and court case.
He founded the Fly Boy Inc record label in November 2017.
