Popular Nigerian singer, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe aka Kizz Daniel, has disclosed that he made his popular song, “Al-Jannah” as a tribute to his loved ones who have passed away.
In a recent podcast session, he revealed that his late dad was his best friend while he was alive.
He said, “When my dad was alive, he was my best friend.”
Furthermore, Kizz Daniel noted that “Al-Jannah” was inspired by the loss of his father, son and mother-in-law.
In his words, “Al-Jannah” means “paradise”. I wanted to write a tribute song. We’ve lost people in the past—we lost our son in 2021; I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people. I wanted to make a song for everyone, not just one person. It’s about our loved ones we have lost in this journey of life. I think I was able to accomplish that by using the word friend in the song.”
The song is coming 10 years after he lost his father. Mr Anidugbe passed away on May 9, 2015, exactly eight days after his 21st birthday.
