The Nigerian music scene is abuzz with controversy as Kizz Daniel takes to his verified Twitter handle to unleash a verbal onslaught against his colleague Tekno. The drama unfolds after Tekno allegedly mocked Kizz Daniel’s claims regarding royalties from their hit collaboration “Buga.”
“Buga” is a standout track from Kizz Daniel’s 2023 album “Maverick,” featuring Tekno. However, recent interviews circulating online, particularly one conducted by Music Base Africa, purportedly reveal Tekno’s revelation about the financial arrangements surrounding the song.
According to the interview, Tekno claimed that Kizz Daniel shared 50 percent of the proceeds from “Buga” with him each month, leading to a substantial sum nearing a billion Naira in royalties. This revelation seems to have ignited Kizz Daniel’s ire, prompting him to publicly confront Tekno on Twitter.
Kizz Daniel’s decision to address the issue head-on has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with fans and followers eagerly awaiting Tekno’s response. The controversy surrounding the alleged royalties dispute underscores the complexities of financial arrangements and collaborations within the music industry, sparking intense debate and speculation online.
The post reads;“I got on Kizz Daniel’s Buga with no sort of legal agreement.I wasn’t expecting anything from him. Wanted to be silent about this but I think some levels of gratitude deserve to be spoken of. Do y’all know Kizz Daniel sends me 50% of every revenue he generates from that song ? After his buga tour he sent me close to a Billion Naira and I was already shocked enough by that move. He didn’t end just there.Every month I receive millions as my own share of the revenue generated by Buga on streaming platforms… Kizz is a great guy I can’t lie.”
Responding to this, Tekno said that the interview was absolutely nothing but a fabricated one tagging it as false.
Tekno further stirred reactions in his tweet by saying that Kizz Daniel doesn’t have such kind of money to pay him.
Tekno wrote;
“ Him money no reach. Anybody wey put out that fake interview, thunder fire your mama. #Talkingshit.”
However, Kizz Daniel didn’t respond when Tekno tweeted this shady tweet on April 14th and by extension waited till April 29th.
Kizz Daniel while responding refers to the tweet referred to Tekno as a foolish person and bastard stressing that he helped Tekno with a feature on his global song, Buga only to start spewing trash on social media.
Kizz Daniel wrote;
“😂 Dem mention money you sef dey talk… spewing shit like anus 🤣🤣 see ekuke way we rescue with BUGA !! 🤣🤣🤣 Oloribu omo ale.”
