- Afrobeats star questions the link between wealth and true happiness
Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has sparked conversation online following a series of raw and reflective posts on X (formerly Twitter), where he spoke openly about the emptiness that can come with fame and fortune.
“Forget all these fake love and fake happiness online,” he began, brushing off the polished highlight reels commonly seen on social media. He then posed a thought-provoking question: “Why when money come, happiness dey always comot?”
The hitmaker didn’t stop there. He challenged the popular belief that financial success guarantees joy, pointing out that “so many people get money but they are sad.” In a surprising confession, he shared that despite his wealth, he still lives like a “poor man,” adding, “na money dey chase me instead.”
While clarifying that he’s not advising people to stop chasing money, Kizz Daniel warned of the challenges that accompany riches: “With money comes problem.” He also claimed that many wealthy individuals hide the downsides of success to maintain a sense of superiority.
The singer’s honesty has sparked mixed reactions, with fans praising his transparency while others debate the realities of wealth and mental well-being.
As one of Afrobeats’ leading voices, Kizz Daniel’s reflections highlight a growing conversation around mental health, authenticity, and the hidden costs of success in the spotlight.
