Renowned artist Kizz Daniel has opened up about the lasting impact of bullying he endured during his childhood, revealing that it has made him struggle with socializing.
In a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast hosted by Adesope Olajide, the "Buga" singer shared his experiences.
He explained, "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's candid revelation sheds light on the profound impact childhood experiences can have on one's social development.
