Hip hop sensation, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly
known as Kiss Daniel, has said that he does not care much
about what transpired at the 2015 edition of the Headies
awards and has since moved on from the show which was
full of drama this time.
Daniel, one of the biggest revelations of 2015 with his
massive hit, Woju , defying odds and breaking barriers, missed
out on the top prize in the Next Rated category of the
annual music award which was won by Supreme Marvin
Dynasty artiste, Reekado Banks.
While some music lovers argued that YBNL act, Lil Kesh
deserve the award the most, a sizeable majority strongly
opined that Daniel with the impact of his two hits in the year
– Woju and Laye , should have walked away with the honour.
Speaking with Saturday Beats earlier in the week through his
manager, Louiza Williams, the lanky musician who was
involved in a car accident recently, said he is working on
becoming a better artiste by the day.
“The Headies is a prestigious award but I give God the
thanks and glory because I would always remain on top. I
don’t care about the award or what transpired at the event. I
have released a statement on the issue and I don’t want to
dwell much on it,” he said.
Responding to criticisms that his beats sound very similar,
the singer told Saturday Beats that he responds to such
comments with a smile on his face.
“I take criticism well and I thank my fans for their honesty
towards me especially when I released my songs woju and
laye . They said that the beats of both songs where similar so
I went back to the drawing board to improve on myself and
that is how we came out with the song, ‘Rabba’. Not to blow
my trumpet but it was my part that made the song a hit. To
be honest, Laye is my favourite song,” he said.
Barely two years down the line and the singer has
established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the
industry. He said he misses some things about being
unknown.
The singer said, “I really miss being an ordinary person
because right now I cannot step out without a bouncer or
security personnel because of stardom. We have different
types of fans and even though most fans wish me well,
things could get out of hand sometimes. Also I cannot think
about taking public transport because if I do, someone could
just take my picture and post it online claiming that I am
broke. Now I have to avoid scandal but fame has not
changed me.”
Commenting on his relationship with female fans, Kiss Daniel
said he never takes advantage of a female fan.
“The ladies have been amazing to me. They are wonderful
fans and I am a ladies’ man especially because of the kind
of songs I sing. I love my female fans. I am a loyal and good
boy who would never take advantage of women. I am a
young boy with responsibilities on my neck so I am not
thinking about settling down anytime soon. There is still
money to be made and I am not considering marriage at all
at the moment.
“This year I am working on my album and already, Wizkid has
made his own version of one of my songs. I have done
collaboration with him already. I also have some international
shows lined up. My album is almost complete and I would
release it anytime from now,” he said.
