Nigerian music superstar Kizz Daniel has debunked a viral report alleging that a court ordered the freezing of his personal and business accounts due to a contractual dispute.
The report, which spread widely on social media, claimed that the Buga hitmaker was ordered to pay €200,000 in damages for failing to honour a show despite receiving a $50,000 advance payment, and that his Access Bank accounts had been frozen by court order.

The management recalled the controversy surrounding Afrobeats Meets Berlin 2022, explaining that the event’s promoter had used Kizz Daniel’s name, image, and likeness, along with those of other artists, to promote ticket sales for a festival that ultimately never took place.

According to the statement, Kizz Daniel was prepared to perform, but the promoter “failed to uphold his own obligations,” leading to misunderstandings that have since been twisted into false reports against the singer.
