Nigerian superstar Kizz Daniel has thrilled fans with news that he and his partner Mjay Anidugbe are expecting their fourth child, announcing the joyful development on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The “Buga” hitmaker expressed overwhelming happiness in his announcement, stating: “I’m a lil bit overwhelmed… Expecting another bundle of joy.” The message instantly generated warm reactions from followers and fellow celebrities who flooded his timeline with congratulatory messages.
This pregnancy announcement comes after Kizz Daniel and Mjay’s previous journey into parenthood, which included both joy and heartbreak. In 2021, the couple welcomed triplets, though tragically one of the babies passed away, leaving them with twin boys. The family’s resilience through difficult times has made this new pregnancy especially meaningful to fans who have followed their story.
The announcement sparked immediate speculation about the baby’s gender, with many followers openly hoping the couple might welcome a daughter this time. One user, @ayomidesho1, directly asked: “Hope say na girl??” The question—considered intrusive by many other commenters—highlighted cultural expectations around family composition and gender balance in Nigerian families.
Kizz Daniel responded to the gender speculation with characteristic grace and positivity. Rather than showing any preference, he emphasized his gratitude for the blessing regardless of gender, revealing he has already selected a meaningful name for the child: “Girl or boy, the name shall be MORIRE.
The name choice carries significant cultural weight, as fans quickly noted in responses. User @seejoysat explained that “Morire in Yoruba language means ‘I have seen goodness,'” reflecting the profound gratitude the artist feels about this new addition to his family.
While most reactions celebrated the couple’s news, the gender question sparked a side conversation among fans about boundaries and privacy. Several commenters took issue with what they perceived as intrusive curiosity. User @_cherii_coco questioned: “Wetin concern Sammy with the baby gender seff,” while @realestmimi_willy commented on the audacity of such personal questions: “The nerves some ppl get sha omo.. congratulations Kizz.”
The discourse demonstrates the complex relationship between celebrities and public interest in their personal lives. Despite some fans crossing boundaries with personal questions, Kizz Daniel maintained a positive approach, focusing on the blessing rather than engaging with potentially divisive topics.
Kizz Daniel, whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, has balanced his skyrocketing music career with family life remarkably well. The artist rose to prominence with his debut single “Woju” in 2014 and has since established himself as one of Africa’s most consistent hitmakers, with songs like “Buga,” “Cough,” and “RTID (Rich Till I Die)” dominating airwaves across the continent.
Throughout his career ascension, Kizz has maintained a relatively private personal life, particularly concerning his relationship with Mjay. Unlike many celebrities who showcase their partners prominently on social media, the couple has chosen a more reserved approach to their relationship. This privacy has sometimes led to speculation, but has also allowed them space to navigate life’s challenges away from constant public scrutiny.
The timing of this pregnancy announcement coincides with a particularly successful period in Kizz Daniel’s career. The artist recently completed several international tours, expanding his global fanbase while staying true to his Nigerian roots. His ability to blend traditional African sounds with contemporary production has earned him a distinct place in the competitive Afrobeats landscape.
Fan @obm.empire joked about potential names, commenting: “I thought he was going to name the child simba,” referencing Kizz Daniel’s nickname “Vado the Great,” often associated with lion imagery in his branding. The lighthearted comment reflects the comfortable relationship the artist has cultivated with his fans.
Several followers shared predictive comments about the baby’s gender, with @melleorji criticizing the preoccupation with such matters: “Some Nigerians and other people’s business 5&6. Tueeh. Congratulations to them.” Meanwhile, @debbiemain confidently declared: “Na girl I don see am 😹 congratulations baba ibeji.”
The term “baba ibeji,” meaning “father of twins” in Yoruba, references Kizz Daniel’s current status as father to twin boys. This cultural acknowledgment demonstrates how deeply the artist’s personal journey resonates within Nigerian cultural frameworks of family and parenthood.
As Kizz Daniel and Mjay prepare to welcome their fourth child, the overwhelming positive response reflects the genuine affection fans have for the artist who has consistently delivered hit songs while maintaining an authentic public persona. The name choice “Morire” suggests a family focused on gratitude and seeing the goodness in life’s journey, regardless of circumstances.
The couple has not disclosed the due date or further details about the pregnancy, staying true to their pattern of sharing significant milestones while preserving intimate details for their private life.
For now, fans remain excited about both Kizz Daniel’s growing family and his musical projects, wondering if this new chapter might inspire fresh creative directions in his artistry, as family milestones often do for musicians who draw from personal experience in their work.
