Failed show: Kizz Daniel explains what went wrong, to entertain fans for free in Tanzania

Oluwatobiloba Daniel, alias Kizz Daniel, a Nigerian singer, has apologised for failing to perform at a show in Tanzania on Sunday.

Daniel, who was arrested by police in Dar es Salaam over the incident on Monday, but later set free, promised to perform at another show on Friday.

Police had arrested him over the incident while the show promoter, Stephen Uwa, had said he paid $60,000 to the music star and pleaded with him for over five hours to no avail.

“He only said the airline didn’t bring his bag. That is why he could not perform because his gold chain is not there and he had a gold chain on his neck. He wanted everything,” he said.

“I bought him different clothes but he said just because the airline didn’t bring one of his bags, he cannot perform without his gold on his neck,” Uwa had said.

But addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Daniel said he and the organisers had decided to make it up to the Tanzanian fans who had shown him so much love.

“The people were already going wild; the fans were going wild, which I know was out of love. So no disrespect to the fans… I was asked to stay back. ‘You can’t go’, ‘It’s not safe’. So I said ok. I sat down with the team, the organisers, the promoters; let’s come up with a way to make it up to the Tanzanian fans and we decided to do a makeup show for free. I even agreed to partner with them this time around.

“This Friday, a free show; I will be partnering with Straight Up Vibes to make that happen. I must apologize to the fans. None of this was intentional
