Nigerian artist Kizz Daniel found himself in legal trouble after he allegedly refused to perform at a show in Ivory Coast despite being paid a substantial sum of $150,000.
The incident occurred on Thursday, October 12, 2023, when Kizz Daniel stayed backstage and did not come on stage to entertain the audience.
As a result, he was arrested by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and is currently in detention.
This is not the first time Kizz Daniel has faced legal consequences for refusing to perform at a show.
