Kiss Daniel who was also one of the nominees for the Headies 2015 Next Rated award which caused a feud between Olamide and Don Jazzy has released a gracious thank you letter to his fans.
Kiss said “No award beats the support of my fans”
Read on;
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.
I wish you all a happy New Year, and hope you have a good time in 2016.
