Kizz Daniel Debunks Report Of His Alleged Arrest In Ivory Coast
Singer Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has denied his alleged arrest and detention in Ivory Coast for refusing to perform at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) event.
Speculations were circulated on Friday that the Afropop artist was arrested in Abidjan for failing to perform despite receiving payment.
Kizz Daniel took to his Instagram account in the early hours of Saturday to deny the reports.
In his statement, he revealed that the event organisers had failed to fulfill their agreed bargain.
He wrote: “This might definitely get a lot of people in trouble but damn, enough is enough. CAF didn’t deal with us directly, it was through an agent.
“The agent signed my contract which states ‘no money no performance’.
“I agreed to fly in regardless, after so many appeals and of cuz excuses on bank transfer delay with the promise of receiving the money upon arrival in Abidjan.
“Till now no payment, not even the alleged amount mentioned. I still chose to support CAF and went ahead to the venue to perform without payment, but unfortunately, my 3-minute performance slot was up.
“My team were assaulted backstage and I decided to take my leave. I am not arrested by CAF OR DETAINED WHATSOEVER.”
