Kizz Daniel, a well-known musician, has claimed that bullying as a child made it difficult for him to socialize.
He said that as a child, he was tormented and teased by his peers because he was overweight.
The “Buga” singer stated this in the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, hosted by Adesope Olajide.*
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.”
