    In a major development for the Nigerian music industry, award-winning Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has officially announced that he now owns the master rights to all the tracks on his debut album, New Era.

    The announcement, made via the artist’s social media platforms, marks a triumphant chapter in his long-standing battle for creative and business independence.

    “After so many years, I finally own the masters to my first studio album New Era,” he wrote, drawing cheers from fans and colleagues alike who have followed his journey from label disputes to solo success.

    Originally released in 2016 under the now-controversial G-Worldwide Entertainment, New Era was a defining moment for Kizz Daniel’s career.

    The album boasted multiple chart-topping tracks including “Woju,” “Laye,” “Mama,” and “Good Time,” which played a pivotal role in pushing Afrobeats to global recognition.

    The record not only introduced Kizz Daniel as a major force in the Nigerian pop music scene but also cemented his position as one of the most influential voices of his generation.

    However, behind the scenes, cracks in the relationship between Kizz Daniel and G-Worldwide began to show. In 2017, he exited the label under acrimonious circumstances, which led to protracted legal battles over intellectual property, stage name rights, and ownership of his music.

    Due to the conflict, the singer was compelled to switch his stage name from “Kiss Daniel” to “Kizz Daniel,” a move that symbolized both the end of an era and the start of a new one.

    Not long after, he launched his music label, Flyboy Inc, under which he continued to record and perform as an independent artist.

    Despite the legal entanglements and professional hurdles, the singer’s career continued on an upward trajectory. His ability to thrive outside the conventional label system has since inspired many upcoming artists to seek autonomy over their creative work.

    With the long-awaited confirmation that he now holds full control over New Era, Kizz Daniel secures not just artistic freedom but also long-term financial benefits tied to the usage and licensing of the album.

    This development is being hailed as a landmark moment in Nigeria’s music business, underscoring the growing trend of artists reclaiming ownership of their intellectual property in an era increasingly focused on artist rights.
