Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Daniel Anidugbe, widely known as Kizz Daniel, has achieved a significant career milestone. The talented artist successfully reclaimed the master rights to his debut album, New Era, from his former record label, G-Worldwide. He shared this monumental update on his X handle Monday, exciting fans and industry observers alike.
Beyond his debut album, the singer also revealed he now owns the master rights to two popular hit singles: “Yeba” and “Sofa.” This recovery marks a profound achievement for the artist. It gives him full control over a crucial part of his musical legacy. He expressed deep satisfaction, stating this accomplishment “means more than words can explain.”
Kizz Daniel detailed his emotional journey to this point, writing, “From long nights in the studio to several meditations, finally, I now own every song on the ‘New Era album’ 2016 + Yeba & Sofa (singles).” He concluded with gratitude: “I got my masters back. This means more than words can explain. Thank you for riding with me. #NewEra #MyCatalog #Grateful.”
New Era initially launched on May 14, 2016, under G-Worldwide. Kizz Daniel departed the label in November 2017. He subsequently founded his own imprint, Flyboy I.N.C. This move led to legal battles; his former label boss, Emperor Geezy, sued him. However, Kizz Daniel was acquitted of all charges.
In a surprising turn of events in 2023, Kizz Daniel announced Emperor Geezy’s appointment as the new CEO of Flyboy I.N.C. This indicated a resolved and collaborative relationship. Ultimately, reclaiming his masters further solidifies his artistic independence and control over his invaluable music catalog.
