Kizz Daniel clears the air on rumoured arrest in Ivory Coast
Nigerian Afrobeat artist Kizz Daniel sheds light on the challenges that artists can face when dealing with performance contracts, especially in the international context.
The “no money, no performance” clause is a common practice in the entertainment industry, designed to protect artists from the risk of non-payment after fulfilling their contractual obligations.
In this case, Kizz Daniel’s decision to travel to Abidjan without receiving the agreed-upon payment in advance was a risky move, and it’s unfortunate that he wasn’t paid as promised. His experience serves as a reminder of the importance of clear and enforceable contracts in the music industry, as well as the need for artists to protect their interests.
While Kizz Daniel has clarified the situation, it remains to be seen how CAF and the agent involved will respond to these claims. Ultimately, this incident highlights the complexities and challenges artists can face when navigating international performances and contractual agreements.
Resolute in his support for CAF, Kizz Daniel supposedly decided to perform at the event without prior payment. However, his performance slot lasted just three minutes. To make matters worse, backstage, his team faced an unfortunate assault. At this point, he made the decision to leave.
Importantly, Kizz Daniel made it clear that “I am not arrested by CAF or detained whatsoever.” His status was clarified by the statement, which successfully refuted rumors of his detention.
Kizz Daniel also made an amazing announcement: on November 13, 2023, he will perform in London at the Ovo Arena in Wembley.
