In the world of glitz and glamour, where stars shine brightly on stage and on screens, it’s easy to forget that behind the scenes, they too battle with personal struggles and demons. Nigerian sensation Kizz Daniel recently shed light on his ongoing battle with smoking and drinking, revealing the challenges he faces in trying to kick these habits.
Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, better known as Kizz Daniel, is no stranger to the limelight. With hits like “Buga” and a dedicated fan base, his talent is undeniable. However, in a candid conversation with fans on X platform, Kizz Daniel bravely admitted that quitting smoking has been anything but easy.
When asked by a fan if he could stop smoking, Kizz Daniel replied with a candid “Not that easy my bro. I’m trying…” This raw honesty resonated with many, as addiction is a battle that countless individuals face every day.
But it doesn’t end there. Kizz Daniel also opened up about his struggle to stop drinking. When another fan inquired if he could give up alcohol, his response was equally honest: “No I can’t…I can’t record sober. I love my family, but it can be boring sometimes.”
This revelation adds layers to the complexities of addiction. It’s not just a matter of willpower; it’s often deeply intertwined with one’s livelihood, creativity, and coping mechanisms. For Kizz Daniel, alcohol seems to be intertwined with his creative process, making it even harder to let go.
It’s worth noting that Kizz Daniel had previously announced on Instagram, after welcoming his twins, that he was giving up smoking for their sake. However, as many addicts know, the path to recovery is rarely linear. Despite his best intentions, the pull of addiction proved to be strong, leading him back to cigarettes.
Kizz Daniel’s openness about his struggles serves as a reminder that addiction does not discriminate. It can affect anyone, regardless of fame or fortune. But his willingness to share his journey also offers hope and solidarity to those who may be fighting similar battles.
