A trending video showing the moment a member of Kizz Daniel’s security team shoved an Advee Media reporter to the ground has set Nigerian social media on fire, with many questioning the treatment of journalists in the entertainment industry.
A video making the rounds on Nigerian social media has sparked serious conversation about the safety of entertainment journalists and the conduct of celebrity security personnel in Nigeria.
The clip, which has been widely shared across Twitter (X), Instagram, and WhatsApp groups, captures a tense moment where a member of Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel’s security detail physically pushed an interviewer from Advee Media to the ground — all because the reporter attempted to get a quick interview with the Buga crooner.
Na So E Happen
According to reports, the Advee Media journalist approached Kizz Daniel in what appeared to be a bid to grab a brief interview with the singer. However, before the reporter could even get a word in properly, one of the security operatives stepped in aggressively, sending the journalist crashing to the floor.
The video has since gone viral, drawing sharp reactions from fans, fellow journalists, and industry watchers across the country.
Nigerians Are Not Finding It Funny
As expected, the comment sections have been nothing short of a town hall meeting. Many Nigerians expressed outrage at the heavy-handed response, arguing that there are more professional ways to manage media access without resorting to physical assault.
Others, however, took a different stance — pointing out that celebrities often deal with overly aggressive press intrusions and that security teams are simply doing their jobs, even if the execution in this case was questionable.
A Bigger Conversation
This incident has reignited the broader debate about how Nigerian celebrities and their teams treat members of the press. Entertainment journalism in Nigeria is already a tough hustle — from chasing exclusives to navigating PR gatekeepers — and incidents like this only make the job more dangerous.
Media professionals and content creators have called for greater respect and professionalism on both sides, urging celebrity teams to adopt better crowd and media management strategies rather than using brute force.
As for Kizz Daniel, neither he nor his management team has officially responded to the incident at the time of publishing.
