Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has finally broken his silence regarding the controversial Paris concert that ended in chaos and disappointment for fans last week. The 'Buga' crooner has come forward with his side of the story, revealing that a financial dispute between two promoters was the primary cause of the failed performance.
The Real Story Behind the Cancelled Performance
Contrary to initial reports that blamed the artist for unprofessional conduct, Kizz Daniel maintains he was fully prepared and willing to perform at the scheduled event in France. The concert, which was supposed to run from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., descended into chaos when the singer failed to appear on time, leading to widespread criticism from attendees and organizers alike.
According to the artist's detailed explanation on social media, the root cause of the problem was a complicated promoter arrangement that turned sour. The initial promoter, identified as @olamidebaron, had fully paid for the Paris show, but then resold the concert rights to a second promoter who allegedly failed to complete the financial agreement.
Flight Delays and Financial Disputes
Kizz Daniel revealed that he and his team had been ready since 6 a.m. to travel for their scheduled 12:25 p.m. flight to Paris. However, the promoter situation created unexpected complications that prevented their departure.
"I was paid in full by @olamidebaron," the singer stated. "He sold the show to another promoter who breached their contract by refusing to pay his balance."
This financial disagreement led to the promoter delaying the artist's flight while attempting to recover the remaining money from the resold show. Kizz Daniel explained that he only discovered later that they were being held back specifically because of this unresolved payment issue.
Missed Opportunities and Fan Reactions
By the time the financial matter was reportedly settled, the artist and his team had missed their original flight. The next available flight was scheduled for 5:25 p.m., which would have made it impossible for them to arrive in time for the performance window.
Social media reactions to Kizz Daniel's explanation have been mixed. While some fans expressed sympathy and continued support for the artist, others voiced concerns about the recurring nature of such incidents and called for better management.
One user, @official_cute_hussey, commented: "I'll always believe you, but something is wrong. These mistakes will stain your reputation."
Another comment from @oloye.x suggested: "Shuffle your team. You are always directly involved like you begged for the show. Get a proper team. Your brother isn't doing a good job."
The incident has sparked conversations about the importance of professional management in the Nigerian music industry and the need for clearer contractual agreements between artists and promoters.
Many disappointed fans have demanded refunds for the failed concert, while others have expressed understanding after hearing the artist's detailed explanation of the circumstances that led to the cancellation.
