Kizz Daniel Sparks Grammy Buzz with New Single ‘Police’ Featuring Angelique Kidjo and Johnny Drille
Afrobeats sensation Kizz Daniel has raised eyebrows and expectations with the release of his new single Police, a vibrant collaboration featuring five-time Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo and Nigerian singer Johnny Drille.
The upbeat track, co-produced by Ghanaian producer MOG Beatz alongside Blaise Beatz and Drille himself, has stirred Grammy conversations since its release—thanks to its star-studded lineup and cross-cultural appeal.
Angelique Kidjo, who is tied with South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo as the most awarded African artist in Grammy history, brings an undeniable weight to the collaboration. Her inclusion has fueled speculation that Police could earn a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category at the 67th Grammy Awards.
For Kizz Daniel and Johnny Drille, a nomination would mark their first-ever Grammy nods, while it would extend Kidjo’s impressive tally to seventeen.
Thematically, Police takes a playful and romantic turn, centered on a man so enchanted by his lover’s charm that he jokingly threatens to call the police. The song’s witty lyrics, catchy melody, and fusion of Afrobeat rhythms with soul and traditional African influences make it both humorous and sonically rich.
With its pan-African collaboration and polished production, Police is not just another hit—it’s a bold Grammy contender.
