Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, best known by his stage as Kizz Daniel, a Nigerian singer and composer, was not present at the FIFA Qatar 2022 World Cup opening ceremony on Sunday. The singer’s participation at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022 caused some uncertainty.
Fans were alarmed when the musician did not appear on stage on Sunday after believing he was scheduled to perform at the opening ceremony alongside fellow Nigerian artist CKay.
The ‘Buga’ star, who confirmed he would perform at the event, said he was scheduled to perform on November 23, not November 20, as had been rumored. On Friday, November 11, Kizz Daniel announced on his Instagram page that he would perform at the World Cup in Qatar.
He wrote: “This one is for Africa. This one is for Vado nation. See you in Qatar World Cup on 23/11/2022.”
The singer’s absence from the event, along with that of other Nigerian singers, alarmed fans who believed he was meant to perform during the opening ceremony.
But Davido, Kizz Daniel, and company were scheduled to perform at the World Cup opening ceremony, according to JulioKitoko. Why aren’t they there? I thought Kizz Daniel said he would be performing at the World Cup, said the joke.
FaiBoris added: “I did not see. Kizz Daniel or Davido at the World Cup opening ceremony. After all the hype from Nigerians and me in particular, looking forward for him to ginger and Buga the crowd. What went wrong? Did lack of electricity stop Nigerians from not being updated in time?”
