Daniel Anidugbe, better known by his stage name Kizz Daniel, is a Nigerian singer who has advised his peers to give up trying to reach the top of the charts on streaming services.

He urged them to concentrate on their craft, emphasizing that the popularity of songs on some streaming services doesn’t necessarily translate to other platforms.

“Stop worrying about social media algorithms and concentrate on your art.” I doubt you have heard of a man named Killer Mike. Grammy winner four times.

“Stop chasing the number one song; it’s mediocre now. Everything is under your control. The majority of those songs’ numbers don’t match up on other platforms. “Check,” he wrote.

Kizz Daniel explained in a different post that while he isn’t opposed to using bots to increase streams because it’s a marketing tactic, it’s not for well-known artists.

He claimed that rather than disparaging his peers, his role was to support up-and-coming musicians in releasing their music without worrying about it failing to catch on with streaming services.

“Farming is marketing for placement and all, therefore it’s not a crime. However, who gets the money?

“We’re not trying to disparage anyone here before the beginning; we’re just encouraging the younger generation to uncover those undiscovered treasures. Daniel wrote, “I will learn.”

The movie star said that Nigerian politicians have embezzled and continue to embezzle billions of Naira from the country’s coffers in a post made through his X Twitter.

“It is painful that some Nigerians have continued to defend the acts of the politicians who do not care about the existence of the masses,” Macaroni said, despite the fact that there are no consequences for the politicians’ actions.

The playwright referred to the theft of public monies as “greed and wickedness” and asked how the nation is meant to improve while its leaders are embezzling money.

“Nigerian politicians have embezzled and continue to embezzle billions and trillions from the country’s coffers,” he said. Even while it is unfortunate that there are no repercussions for these acts, it is heartbreaking that the people whose money is being embezzled still support politicians that don’t give a damn about them.

“How can you easily embezzle enough public cash to improve the lives of millions of people you should be serving without reservation?
What kind of evil and selfishness is this? When our politicians only want to steal, how is the nation meant to improve?

“No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?”
