Popular Nigerian musician Kizz Daniel has sparked conversations online with his candid reflections about wealth and happiness, stating that he still lives like a poor man despite his global fame and success.

The singer made the statement after posting a thought-provoking message on social media: “Why when money comes, happiness dey always comot?”

The post quickly gained traction, prompting thousands of reactions and sparking debates around the relationship between financial success and emotional fulfilment.

Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, expanded on the sentiment by highlighting that many wealthy individuals often mask their sadness behind the illusion of material success.

“Guys, I’m not saying don’t chase money,” he clarified. “I’m just saying with money comes problems. People wey get am no go tell una the truth cuz they want to feel superior.”

A follower, questioning the singer’s standpoint, asked: “So, in other words, you are saying money doesn’t bring happiness?? But you’re chasing it every blessed day.” In response, Kizz Daniel quipped, “Lol … I still live like a poor man every day. Na money dey chase me instead.”

He emphasised that his message was not aimed at discouraging ambition or financial aspirations but to caution fans against the illusion that money automatically equates to joy.

According to him, people should look beyond “fake love and online representation of happiness,” which often mislead the public.

This latest revelation adds to the growing list of personal and professional insights Kizz Daniel has recently shared. Just last week, he announced his upcoming fifth studio album, “Uncle K,” set for release on 24 May, followed by a global tour.

He also made headlines for explaining why he would not be holding his usual December concert and advised his peers to focus on their craft rather than chasing social media algorithms.

As the artist continues to evolve musically and personally, his honest take on life behind the scenes offers fans a glimpse into the mental health challenges that can accompany fame and fortune.
