Kizz Daniel has released the music video for "Owo Oluwa," a song he dedicated to his late parents, BellaNaija reports. The title is Yoruba for "The Hand of God," and the song is the first single from his upcoming album, Radio Gidi.
What the Song Is About
When the single came out on 18th September, Kizz Daniel explained why he wrote it. "I've seen the hand of God in my life in so many inexplicable ways. From where I started to where I am today, every blessing, every opportunity, navigating every hurdle and achieving every milestone has been thanks to him," he said in a statement carried by allAfrica. The song was produced by Krizbeatz and features Young Jonn and the Wave Choir. Black FM describes it as a reflective work built around faith, divine guidance and inner peace.

What the Video Shows
The visual alternates between two settings, BellaNaija reports. Kizz Daniel performs on a raised circular green stage in an oversized black blazer, with the Wave Choir in matching robes beside him. The scene then moves to Nigerian streets, where the philanthropist Asherkine acts out the song's message by giving a sewing machine to an aspiring fashion designer and a motorised tricycle to a commercial driver, with the recipients' reactions and street celebrations on camera. The video was co-directed by Perliks Definition and Asherkine himself.
Why the Video Matters
The choice carries the song's message. A track about grace could have been shot as a performance piece, and instead its video gives the gift of an income-earning tool to two people whose work depends on one. The song is a departure from the party records Kizz Daniel is best known for, and it is the project's lead single, which suggests Radio Gidi will carry more than dance music.
Where Radio Gidi Stands
The album is due on 16th October, DancehallMag reports, and FOLA is one of its guests, Notjustok reports. FOLA is also one of the guests on BNXN's new EP, which PINCHED covered in BNXN's Still In Charge, so the same newer voice is on two major Nigerian projects within weeks of each other.
What to Watch Next
The next test is whether the rest of the album follows "Owo Oluwa" into more reflective territory or treats it as one record among many. Listeners will also watch whether the video's giving theme becomes part of how the album is promoted.
