Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has officially stepped away from releasing new music following the drop of his EP Uncle K on November 29, 2024. The singer, known for global hits like Buga and Cough, had announced prior to the EP’s release that he would not be dropping any new music until 2026.
Kizz Daniel cited personal reasons for the break, including the recent loss of his mother-in-law to breast cancer. In a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), he explained that he needed time to “reconnect with himself and recharge.” The decision has sparked a wave of emotional reactions from fans—many expressing sadness but also respect for his choice.
With five studio albums and a reputation for consistency, Kizz Daniel’s pause marks a rare quiet period in his otherwise active career. While Uncle K continues to stream across platforms, fans are holding on to the project as a parting gift until his anticipated return in 2026.
