Kizz Daniel explains his world cup opening ceremony no-show

Nigerian acts Kizz Daniel real name, Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe and CKay real name Chukwuka Ekweani were earlier touted to perform during the FIFA Qatar  2022 World Cup opening ceremony on Sunday, but none of them had the opportunity to grace the stage.

There was confusion over the singer’s no-show performance at the FIFA Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Fans who thought the singer was supposed to perform at the opening ceremony on Sunday alongside fellow Nigerian artist CKay became worried when he did not show up on stage.

An enigmatic but colorful ceremony saw Morgan Freeman in Qatar, taking the world through what it should expect during the tournament ending on December 18.

The opening ceremony also featured the main vocalist of the Korean pop band BTS, Jeon Jung-kook, who lit up the Al Bayt Stadium during the event, but no Nigerian act was on stage.

Responding to his no-show,  the ‘Buga’ star, who confirmed he would perform at the event, stated that he was billed to perform on the 23rd of November and not the 20th, as speculated.

Kizz Daniel had, in a post on his Instagram page on Friday, 11th of November, confirmed that he would perform at the World Cup in Qatar.

He wrote: “This one is for Africa. This one is for Vado nation. See you in Qatar World Cup on 23/11/2022.”

Meanwhile, those who thought that the singer was supposed to perform at the opening ceremony stormed social media to express concern over his and other Nigerian artists’ absence at the event.

FaiBoris added: “I did not see. Kizz Daniel or Davido at the World Cup opening ceremony. After all the hype from Nigerians and me in particular, looking forward for him to ginger and Buga the crowd. What went wrong? Did lack of electricity stop Nigerians from not being updated in time?”
