Kizz Daniel offered me N50k but I declined to create beats for him – Producer Philkeys

Philip Ahaiwe Chukwuja, well known as Philkeys, a legendary music producer, has recalled a time when he turned down Kizz Daniel after the singer offered to pay him N50,000 for a studio session.

He claimed that when he extended the deal, Kizz Daniel was only starting out and turned it down because he was already collaborating with King Sunny Ade, a famed musician.

However, Philkeys claimed that after the ‘Woju’ crooner achieved fame, he later teamed up with Kizz Daniel and recorded many songs with him.

In a recent interview with MTV Base Africa, Philkeys made this claim.

“He [Kizz Daniel] reached out to me,” he claimed. He was not then signed. He informed me that he wanted to work with me and had a particular sum of money—I believe N50,000.

“However, my fees didn’t exceed N50,000 by the time I started working for Sunny Ade. I was a big lad then. ‘No, o, I’m not doing,’ I said.

We simply let that bit slip since I was going to see if he would call me back, but he didn’t. Then, once he lost it, he called me and said he wanted to collaborate with me.
