Afrobeat singer Kizz Daniel has shared that his late father, whom he described as his best friend, inspired his emotional song Al-Jannah.
Speaking in a podcast interview, he shared how the death of his late father had inspired his song ‘Al-Jannah’.
According to him, “When my dad was alive, he was my best friend,” Kizz Daniel said. ‘Al-Jannah’ means “paradise”. I wanted to write a tribute song. We’ve lost people in the past. We lost our son in 2021.
I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people. The artist reflected on the personal losses he and his family have endured—including the deaths of his father in 2015, his son in 2021, his wife’s mother in 2024, and his stepmother—explaining that the tribute track was created to honor all the loved ones they have lost along life’s journey.
