    Last week, Nigerian musical legend Kizz Daniel released a new single called ‘To Be a Man’, along with a simple yet striking official lyric video. In the picture, the Afrobeats pioneer, hailing from Ogun State, sings and poses an important question to his partner: Quality time or a Gucci bag?, as a direct response to him being overworked as a provider (”I work hard, 16 hours in a day/No time off, no holiday”). And if you thought that lyric was thought-provoking, he doubled down on the next couple of lines: “Omo, if e easy to be a man/Take my shoes and go crazy”.

    If you’re an entrepreneur or a man with great responsibilities and the weight of mountains sitting on your skull, you may have an appreciation for this song more than I could. Check it the well-made track above and learn the lyrics so we all can sing together at his concerts.

    “He who finds a wife finds a good thing” is what the Bible says (Proverbs 18:22). As far as we can see, the Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Kizz Daniel has it all. In the kid-friendly visual for ‘Double’ (over two million streams on Spotify), the ‘Showa’ singer exhibits his fun side and dances with his loving wife and the mother of his children, Mjay Anidugbe, who he had been married to for four years. Before now, the Ogun State star singer kept his marriage life private. It is probably what has kept their bond/relationship going.

    Will we get an official music video? Probably, but for now, let’s enjoy what we have. Check out the visual below and learn the words as the suited cartoon characters do African dance moves and play the instruments. It was released two weeks ago, has over three million views on YouTube, and the record is currently on the UK Official Afrobeats Chart and debuted at #2 on the Official Nigeria Top 100 Chart.
