Nigerian music sensation Kizz Daniel has appealed to his fans to refrain from publicly asking him for financial assistance.
The artist, who is known for his generosity, made the statement in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
In recent months, fans have flooded his page with requests for money every time he appears online. This constant pressure, he says, has taken the fun out of interacting with his supporters.
A history of giving
Kizz Daniel has a strong reputation for giving back. He has surprised many fans with cash giveaways on social media. His random acts of kindness have earned him praise from across the country. However, he now says the situation is becoming overwhelming.
Instead of enjoying casual moments with fans, he often finds himself dealing with endless pleas for help. What was once a space for connection has turned into a platform for public begging, and the singer is clearly fed up.
Message to his fanbase
In his post, Kizz Daniel addressed his loyal supporters, who call themselves “Vaddicts.” He asked them to stop using every online opportunity to ask for money. He made it clear that he still intends to help people, but from now on, it will happen privately.
He wrote, “Vaddicts, make una stop all this money thing each time I’m online… shey we no fit just vibe ni?! Even if God wan use me bless person, it will be in private, not public. Not anymore.”
Mixed reactions from the public
The post quickly went viral, drawing mixed responses from fans. Some applauded his honesty and agreed that the pressure had gone too far. They believe it’s right for him to set personal boundaries and protect his peace.
Others, however, expressed disappointment. With the rising cost of living and economic struggles in Nigeria, many people see celebrities as a last hope. For some fans, social media is their only way to reach out.
The bigger picture: Nigeria’s economic struggles
Nigeria is currently going through serious economic challenges. Inflation continues to rise, while job opportunities are few. For many Nigerians, daily survival is a struggle. In times like these, successful artists like Kizz Daniel are often seen as lifelines.
But while they may be in a better financial position, celebrities also have personal limits. Constant demands can feel overwhelming, and many have spoken out about the pressure of being seen as a public bank.
Private help, public respect
Kizz Daniel’s decision doesn’t mean he is turning his back on people in need. He simply wants to give on his own terms. By helping in private, he avoids the drama and expectations that often come with public acts of charity.
This approach also offers more respect and privacy to those receiving the help. Not everyone wants their struggles made public, and receiving assistance quietly can protect their dignity.
Setting a new standard
Kizz Daniel is not alone in setting this boundary. Other public figures have also chosen to give quietly. This trend may encourage fans to see celebrities not just as providers, but as people who deserve peace and respect.
His message is a reminder: generosity should be appreciated, not expected. And when it becomes too much, even the kindest hearts need space.
A call for balance
In the end, the singer’s words open up an important conversation. How should public figures handle financial requests? How can fans show support without crossing lines?
Kizz Daniel’s decision may not please everyone, but it reflects a need for balance. He wants to continue vibing with his fans—just without the pressure of constant public demands.
For now, he’s choosing peace and privacy over pressure and performance. And that’s a message many can relate to.
