Famous Nigerian singer Kizz Daniel has set social media abuzz with a bold declaration about his music career.
The “Buga” hitmaker took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to announce that he would quit music if anyone other than fellow artist Runtown claimed to have written a song for him.
In the heartfelt post, Kizz Daniel heaped praises on Runtown, lauding his exceptional songwriting prowess. He revealed that Runtown is the only artist who has ever written a song for him, cementing the admiration and respect he holds for his colleague.
Fans and industry insiders have reacted to the revelation with mixed emotions, with many applauding Kizz Daniel’s transparency and loyalty to his craft. Others expressed their amazement at the camaraderie between the two talented musicians.
Known for hits like “Buga” and “Cough,” Kizz Daniel has consistently delivered chart-topping tracks, earning him a spot as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artists. This latest revelation further highlights the collaborative spirit within the Nigerian music industry, as well as the mutual respect shared among its top players.
He wrote:
“For the first time in my life, person write song for me and na Runtown …… Sound God is not human.”
This revelation sparked mixed reactions online. An X user with the handle @KTwinBlog expressed skepticism.
“For the first….you sure?,” the user queried.
Kizz Daniel swiftly responded, doubling down on his claim.
He wrote:
“Make any mofo come out say dem write for me I go stop music right now.”
While using songwriters is common globally, it remains a sensitive topic in Nigeria, where fans often associate an artist’s talent with their ability to write their own songs, viewing those who use songwriters as less talented.
Artists like Davido have faced backlash for openly admitting to using songwriters.
