Ace Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has explained why he does not socialize despite being an entertainer.
The singer made the revelation while appearing on the latest edition of the Afrobeats Podcast, hosted by Adesope Olajide.
According to the ‘Cough’ crooner, he was fat and chubby while growing up and his look made other children bully and make fun of him.

Kizz Daniel went on to say when he eventually grew older and shed some weight he had gotten used to staying indoors and remained shy even as an adult.
Speaking during the chat, he said: “I have built a world of my own in my head since I was little. Because growing up, I was a fat kid. I was chubby. So, I don’t go out because the kids in the area make fun of me. They called me orobo (someone who is fat). And they bullied me. So I always stay indoors.
“During that time that I always stayed indoors, I’d already built this fantasy world in my head. In the world that I have built in my head, I’m very comfortable in that space.
“So, I reintroduced myself to the world after I lost weight; I lost all forms of social skills. I don’t know how to communicate. I don’t know how to socialize with people.”
He further revealed that he takes alcohol sometimes to be able to handle anxieties.
Kizz Daniel’s revelation is coming amidst the controversy surrounding the death of fellow singer, Mohbad, who died on Tuesday, September 12.
The late artiste was said to have suffered a lot of bullying, which allegedly resulted in his death.
