Kizz Daniel has confirmed in an official announcement that he now owns the masters of his debut album, ‘New Era.’
Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel has officially announced that he now owns the master recordings for all the songs on his debut album ‘New Era.’
The artist shared the news with fans via social media, marking a significant milestone in his career and a powerful statement on creative control and artistic independence.
Released in 2016 under the G-Worldwide label, ‘New Era’ became Kizz Daniel’s breakthrough project, housing timeless hits such as “Woju,” “Laye,” “Mama,” and “Good Time.”
The album established him as a leading voice in Nigerian pop music and played a pivotal role in shaping the contemporary Afrobeats sound.
However, the success of ‘New Era’ was later overshadowed by legal battles and contractual disputes with his former label over song rights and artistic freedom.
In 2017, Kizz Daniel parted ways with G-Worldwide, triggering a highly publicized legal battle over the rights to his stage name and his music catalog, particularly the New Era album.
The dispute led the artist to rebrand temporarily as “Kizz Daniel” after performing under “Kiss Daniel” during his time at the label.
Despite the legal constraints, he continued to thrive independently, founding his own imprint, Flyboy Inc. Now, after years of contention, Kizz Daniel has confirmed he has full ownership of the New Era masters, a major victory for both his legacy and future earnings.
