Kizz Daniel Announces Music Hiatus to Focus on Family Growth

A TikTok video by @KizzDanielUpdates has highlighted the singer’s recent announcement that he is taking a significant break from recording new music. The “Buga” crooner shared that his primary focus for the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 will be his family, specifically his partner and children.
Kizz Daniel, who has consistently topped charts with hits like “Cough” and “Twe Twe,” expressed a desire for a “waterfront life” for his family, a goal he has been working toward since 2022. This announcement follows a highly successful run of global tours and award wins, including Song of the Year at the Soundcity MVP Awards.
While fans are disappointed by the lack of new music, many have praised the artist for prioritizing his domestic life. The singer’s label, Flyboy I.N.C., is expected to manage his existing catalog and brand partnerships during this quiet period.
* Wikipedia / Public Statements confirm: “In June 2025, Kizz Daniel announced that he was taking a break… to focus more on his family.”
* BellaNaija reports: “Kizz Daniel steps back from the studio to enjoy the fruits of his labor with his love d ones.”
Echotitbits take: Kizz Daniel has been on a relentless hit-making treadmill for years. Taking a hiatus now is a strategic move to prevent burnout and increase the “demand” for his eventual comeback. It also allows him to solidify his personal life away from the often-chaotic Nigerian music scene.
