Popular artist Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, better known as Kizz Daniel, has stated that bullying as a child has made it difficult for him to socialize.
He claimed that as a child, he was bullied and made fun of because he was fat.
The ‘Buga’ singer revealed this in the most recent episode of 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.”
Kizz Daniel also mentioned that he uses alcohol to cope with social anxiety.
