“Don’t Film People While Helping Them” - Kizz Daniel Speaks Out Against Performing Charity for Social Media
Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel is giving his two cents on a growing social media culture where acts of charity are often recorded and posted online.
In his message, the singer criticised the practice of filming vulnerable people while offering help, suggesting that many acts of generosity today are more focused on public praise and online validation than on genuine compassion.
His exact words were “who go help you, no film am”; he later went on to explain that filming those in need makes them look helpless, and it is important to protect their dignity.
His comments have triggered widespread debate. Many social media users agreed with him, saying that recording people in vulnerable moments can strip them of dignity and privacy, even when the intention is good. Others argued that sharing charitable acts online can inspire more people to give, but critics insist that helping someone should never feel performative.
Kizz Daniel’s stance adds to a broader conversation around “content charity”, the growing trend of creators recording giveaways, donations, and acts of kindness for engagement and virality.
