Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Daniel Anidugbe, famously known as Kizz Daniel, has announced a two-year break from releasing new music, sending shockwaves through his fanbase. The revelation comes ahead of the release of his much-anticipated EP, Uncle K, slated to drop on November 29, 2024.

“After this, I no dey drop anything again until 2026,” Kizz Daniel declared via his X handle on Friday, sparking mixed reactions from fans, fondly called the Vaddicts. While many expressed disappointment at the hiatus, others offered their support, recognizing the artist’s need for rest and personal focus.

Since his breakout hit Woju in 2016, Kizz Daniel has remained a consistent force in the music industry, delivering five studio albums and an array of chart-topping singles.

As fans brace for his absence, Kizz Daniel’s Uncle K promises to be a memorable parting gift. The EP is expected to showcase the brilliance that has defined his illustrious career and solidified his position as a global Afrobeats icon.
