Award-winning Nigerian singer Kizz Daniel has publicly expressed his admiration for some of his senior colleagues in the music industry, notably referring to Olamide Adedeji as the “Godfather of Music.”
The acknowledgment came in response to a tweet from a fan, Ayomilekan, who described Olamide as a blessing to the industry and credited him for uplifting younger artists.
Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, did not stop at praising Olamide.
He extended his gratitude to other influential figures, including music producer Don Jazzy and rapper Phyno, recognizing their impact on shaping the Nigerian music scene.
The singer’s statement followed an earlier interaction where a fan of Davido urged him to insult Wizkid. Kizz Daniel declined, stating his respect for those who paved the way before him.
This respectfulness earned further praise from Ayomilekan, who spotlighted Olamide as one of the key figures in the industry.
Olamide, often hailed for his mentorship and support of emerging artists, has played a pivotal role in the success stories of many Nigerian musicians, solidifying his position as a cornerstone of the Afrobeat movement.
Kizz Daniel’s tribute not only underscores Olamide’s influence but also highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect that define the Nigerian music industry.
