And there in lies the controversy. Twitter user @Zubairthedream who shared the newspaper clipping, pointed out pertinent facts.“How old are you, really? @iamkissdaniel,” the Twitter user asked, and went ahead to list out these:
“1. Engineering is a 5 year course.However, there are fans of the singer who are trying so hard to defend him. But, as at 2014, the minimum age set by the examination body for students eligible to write JAMB was 16.
2. Graduated in 2013
3. 21 last week.”
And so, the question thrown up by Nigerians is if the singer lied about his age, or if he didn’t attend the University.
Kiss Daniels who began his
career professionally in music in 2013 after he graduated from the higher
institution the same year has recorded quite some numbers of songs most notably
Woju, Laye and many more.
