Kizz Daniel Says He Still Lives Like a Poor Man Despite His Wealth
Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has opened up about his lifestyle and how fame and fortune have not changed the way he lives. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the ‘Buga’ singer revealed that he still lives like a “poor man” and prefers to keep things simple, despite being wealthy.
He explained that he no longer chases money—money now chases him. However, he warned that financial success often brings hidden struggles and emotional emptiness that most people don’t talk about.
“Lol … I still live like a poor man every day. Na money dey chase me instead,” Kizz Daniel wrote.
The singer went on to reflect on the connection between money and happiness, asking a deep question that many people can relate to: “Why when money comes, happiness dey always comot?”
His message was clear—money may look good on the outside, but it doesn’t guarantee peace of mind. He pointed out that many wealthy people quietly deal with sadness and stress, even though they appear happy online.
He said, “I’m not saying don’t chase money. I’m just saying with money comes problems. People wey get am no go tell una the truth cuz they want to feel superior.”
Kizz Daniel also cautioned fans against idolising money or believing everything they see on social media. According to him, many people use platforms to show off fake happiness, while battling loneliness and anxiety in private.
So, why does Kizz Daniel live like a poor man? For him, it’s a way of staying grounded, away from the illusions that wealth and fame often bring. His words offer a rare and honest look into the emotional cost of success and the importance of staying true to oneself.
