The video also includes a moment where Fola discusses the emotional depth of the song, noting, “No one talks about challenges. Don’t worry, it makes you happy. Love makes you happy, but no one talks about when you cry in your room at night.” This vulnerability struck a chord with listeners, making “Lost” a relatable anthem for many.
A significant part of the interview focuses on Fola’s relationship with Kizz Daniel, whom he refers to as “Vado.” Fola reveals that he has known Kizz Daniel for about two years, stating, “I’ve known Vado for a while.” This pre-existing connection facilitated the collaboration, as Fola sent the song to Kizz Daniel through a direct message (DM), a move that paid off when Kizz Daniel expressed interest in contributing a verse.
The video captures Fola’s surprise and gratitude when Kizz Daniel offered his verse without any financial transaction, saying, “He was like, I’m going to give you a verse on this. Wow, I actually thought that he was joking.” This gesture of goodwill from Kizz Daniel underscores the mutual respect and support within the Nigerian music industry.
Fola’s story continues with the details of how Kizz Daniel recorded his verse and surprised him with the final product. “He recorded the verse and called me to come to the studio, listen to it. He wanted to surprise me,” Fola shares, highlighting the excitement of hearing Kizz Daniel’s contribution for the first time. This moment, as depicted in the video, marks a turning point in the song’s journey, leading to its eventual release and success.
