Singer, Kizz Daniel has apologised to his Tanzanian fans for failing to show up for a paid concert in the country.
Glamsquad recalls that the organisers of the concert arrested Kizz Daniel for failing to perform at the show on Sunday night, 7th August.
Following his release, the Buga crooner at a conference on Tuesday explained his side of the story, apologized to fans, and promised a free show on Friday.
He said:
“The people were already going wild; the fans were going wild, which I know was out of love. So no disrespect to the fans… I was asked to stay back. ‘You can’t go’, ‘It’s not safe’. So I said ok. I sat down with the team, the organisers, the promoters; let’s come up with a way to make it up to the Tanzanian fans and we decided to do a makeup show for free. I even agreed to partner with them this time around.
“This Friday, a free show; I will be partnering with Straight Up Vibes to make that happen. I must apologize to the fans. None of this was intentional.”

Stephen Uwa, a concert promoter in Tanzania, had earlier narrated the reasons behind Kizz Daniel’s refusal to show up for his concert on Instagram live with media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze.
According to him, the singer refused to perform at the event because he was not with his gold chain.
Uwa said,
“He (Kizz Daniel) only said the airline didn’t bring his bag that is why he cannot perform. Because his gold chain is not there. And he had a gold chain on his neck. He wanted everything,”
The promoter further noted that he booked Kizz Daniel through his management, Upfront and Personal Global, headed by Paul Okoye, better known as Paul O.
According to him, Paul O cried and begged Kizz Daniel to come for the show too.
“Paul O is the one I booked Kizz from. Paul O cried all night trying to beg this guy ‘Please go to this show’.”
The show promoter added that he paid Kizz Daniel $60, 000 to perform on the show and still had to beg him but the singer didn’t show up.
“Three times, I knelt for Kizz Daniel and I begged him.”
He added,
“I paid this guy $60, 000 to perform on this show. I went down on my knees. I was like ‘Bro, you are damaging me. I am trying to build my company here. You are going to damage me’. I begged this guy ‘Save my career, save me’.”
