Nigerian singer Peruzzi explains how Kizz Daniel and Buju BNXN sidelined him on a hit song
On July 23, 2026, Nigerian singer Peruzzi revealed during an interview that Kizz Daniel and Buju BNXN released their hit song Gwagwalada without his consent. Peruzzi detailed how the studio session happened before the duo secretly published the track, prompting him to pause future collaborations with Buju.
On July 23, 2026, Nigerian music star Peruzzi shared a shocking story about a massive hit song. The singer explained how colleagues left him out of the final release process.
Fans always assumed the 2023 track came together smoothly. However, the new interview paints a very different picture. Peruzzi claims the artists bypassed him entirely before dropping the song.
The studio session
The drama started when Peruzzi reached out for a joint track. He wanted to work with Kizz Daniel and visited his studio.
”That’s Gwagwalada now. He gave me the song now, Buju gave me the song. Omo, long story jare, I no won too talk am. I called Kizz for, uh, uh, collabo,” Peruzzi explained.
”Yeah,” the interviewer agreed.
During the visit, Kizz Daniel played several unreleased tracks. One of those tracks was the instrumental for “Gwagwalada”. Kizz Daniel then decided to call Buju BNXN to join them.
”I wanted Kizz. And Kizz calls… he plays one song, he played like random songs and then he plays Gwagwalada. And he calls Buju. Says Buju’s on am. I’m like okay, call him. He say he can call him to come, and then we decide on the song. He called him, the guy came,” the singer detailed.
A secret release
Buju arrived at the studio and recorded his parts. The guest artist then sent the audio files directly to Peruzzi.
”Sent me the song, there. And uh, then I took it to the house. Only for me to see that they dropped the song online,” the star noted.
Peruzzi took the song home and expected a follow-up conversation. Instead, he faced a massive surprise online after they published the hit.
”Without anybody reaching out or anything. So yeah, I don’t think I’m working with him anytime soon. Like right now I don’t want to work with him. You get, but e dey…” he stated.
The betrayal clearly left a sour taste for the artist. He expressed massive disappointment over the lack of communication. The interviewer then chimed in to express fan expectations.
”I hope you guys… I hope you guys thrash it out because we… we deserve something like that,” the host said. “Yes. Yes,” Peruzzi agreed.
”To be premium,” the host added. “Yeah, but everybody will do right when they feel… everybody knows the right thing to do so, it’s alright,” Peruzzi responded. The host agreed that such an expectation is reasonable.
Pausing future work
Peruzzi did not rule out peace entirely. He noted that people must choose to act correctly first.
”Fair enough. Yeah,” the interviewer added. “If it happens, it’s fine. If not…” Peruzzi stated. “Fair enough,” the host replied. “Fair enough,” Peruzzi concluded.
A caption on the video summarized the entire situation clearly. The text captured the core of the dispute.
”Buju BNXN didn’t write ‘Gwagwalada’, it was I and Kizz Daniel song. I called Kizz Daniel for a collabo, so I pulled up. Kizz played random songs and then he played ‘Gwagwalada’, so we called buju and he sent me the song and I left. Later only to discover they’ve both released the song,” the on-screen text read.
