‘Bullying made me anti-social” – Kizz Daniel

A well-known artist, Kizz Daniel, has claimed that the bullying he experienced as a child makes it difficult for him to socialise.

He claimed that as a child, the other kids bullied and teased him because he was overweight.

In the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, which is hosted by Adesope Olajide, the “Buga” singer revealed this.

He said, “I have built a world of my own in my head since I was little. Because growing up, I was a fat kid. I was chubby. So, I don’t go out because the kids in the area make fun of me. They called me orobo (someone who is fat). And they bullied me. So I always stay indoors.

“During that time that I always stayed indoors, I’d already built this fantasy world in my head. In the world that I have built in my head, I’m very comfortable in that space.

“So, I reintroduced myself to the world after I lost weight; I lost all forms of social skills. I don’t know how to communicate. I don’t know how to socialise with people.”
