Popular Afrobeats singer Kizz Daniel has revealed the inspiration behind his latest single, “Al-Jannah.” He recently shared that his late dad, Mr. Anidugbe, who passed away in 2015, inspired the record.
Speaking during an interview, Kizz Daniel said that his father was not just a major influence in his life, but also his best friend.
According to him, “Al-Jannah”, which means paradise, was written as a tribute to the many loved ones he and his wife have lost over the years.
“When my dad was alive, he was my best friend,” he said.

The talented artist further noted that he and his wife lost their son in 2021, he lost in father in 2015, and his wife lost her mum in 2024; therefore, it was only fair to make an emotional song to remember all 3 of them.
He, however, noted that while the record was inspired by the loved ones he and his wife have lost, the song is also for Nigerians who can relate to losing someone dear to their hearts.
He concluded by saying the reception the track has gotten thus far is proof that his message has been successfully passed.
“I wanted to write a tribute song. We’ve lost people in the past—we lost our son in 2021; I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people. I wanted to make a song for everyone, not just one person. It’s about our loved ones we have lost in this journey of life. I think I was able to accomplish that by using the word friend in the song,” he added.
