The development comes shortly after Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter Kizz Daniel sparked buzz about converting from Christianity to Islam.
The reports gained momentum after fans noticed the singer’s reaction to a viral video featuring an Egyptian and an Iraqi calling Muslims to prayer with melodious voices.
The Buga crooner commented with the Arabic phrase “Mashallah ❤️”, a word commonly used by Muslims to express admiration and gratitude to God.
Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, was widely known to have grown up practising Christianity.
However, longtime followers were quick to point out that the singer was born into a Muslim family.
His Muslim name, Dhikrullah, resurfaced online as fans dug into old interviews and personal details.
Adding to the intrigue is Kizz Daniel’s younger brother and lookalike, Uthman Anidugbe, who is openly Muslim and works closely with him.
