I still live like a poor man, says Kizz Daniel

Afrobeats singer Kizz Daniel said he still lives like a “poor man” every day, stating that money chases him instead of the other way around.

According to Kizz Daniel on X, wealth doesn’t automatically guarantee happiness.

He questioned why happiness seems to fade when money comes, reflecting on the emotional emptiness that can accompany material wealth.

“Why when money comes, happiness dey always comot?” he asked.

The ‘Buga’ hitmaker noted that many rich people still live in sadness despite their affluence and warned that financial wealth comes with hidden burdens.

“Lol … I still live like a poor man every day. Na money dey chase me instead.

“Guys, I’m not saying don’t chase money. I’m just saying with money comes problems. People wey get am no go tell una the truth cuz they want to feel superior,” he said.

Kizz Daniel also cautioned against idolising money and the illusion of happiness on social media, which often masks loneliness, anxiety, or dissatisfaction.
