Kiss Daniel whom according to his fans should
have won the Next Rated award wrote an open
letter to his fans to express his gratitude for their
faith in him. He wtote:
"When I opened my social media accounts
this morning, it was humbling for me to see
that so many people believe that I deserve
recognition for the work I was able to do
last year by the grace of God. But like
Thomas a Kempis famously wrote; “Man
proposes, but God disposes”.
To see that fans across different social
audiences appreciate the efforts I put into
making my music is one I will never look
down upon, no award beats that, and I
hope to be able to repay this confidence in
good time.
My fans have been the most amazing
source of inspiration for me, and I promise
never to let you down. From the days when
I was nobody in this industry, to song after
song that you have helped become hits, I
say God bless you for all the support.
To be honest, it was quite heartbreaking to
find out that I did not get the particular
recognition I so much craved, but I am
excited that it only means I need to work
harder, and that 2016 will be a bigger year
for me.
In 2015, some of the awards I won with
your support include; ‘Best New Act’ at the
Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA), Next
Rated Artiste of The Year at the Extreme
Awards in Benin Republic, AFRIMA Awards
Most Promising Act in Africa.
I also found out I was one of the top 5
Google Top Trending Nigerian Musicians.
For an artiste with less than 10 songs to
my name, I think this is enough for me to
congratulate myself upon.
This year 2016 is going to be bigger and
better; my debut album drops this year, and
with the work put into it by myself, my
team, and that of the artistes
magnanimous enough to feature on it, I am
positive that this will be the year.
I also want to use this opportunity to tell
the fans to look out for the forthcoming
single of my label mate and brother
“Sugarboy” dropping in few days from now,
as we at G-Worldwide Entertainment will
continue to bring you good music.
I thank you all; my fans for always
supporting me, the media platforms who
continue to keep me in the public’s mind,
the industry seniors who have made it their
job to guide and mentor, and the members
of my team who work behind the scenes to
make sure I keep my head level and
continue to make great music. Special
shoot-out to my label boss “Emperor
Geezy” who continues to bring the best out
of me.
I wish you all a happy New Year, and hope
you have a good time in 2016.

Almost forgot, thanks to the good guys at
The Guardian UK for giving me a mention in
The playlist: the best African pop of 2015".
