While
granting an interview yesterday, Chris Brown revealed he had infused
the Ghanaian dance move into his latest video and attributed its
origination to Nigeria. He also recalled meeting Nigerian pop singer
Wizkid who taught him the dance move.
Understandably,
Ghanians are unhappy about CB’s wrong assumption on the origin of
Azonto, with one blog ‘Ghana Celebrities’ posting in an article ‘WTF:
Chris Brown Talks About AZONTO On BET, But He Says The Dance Is A Nigerian Thing
See
how the site reported it “It seems Chris Brown coming to Ghana and
introducing Nigerian artiste-Wizkid on stage to do Azonto was not a mere
mistake. In fact, Chris Brown thinks Azonto is a Nigerian thing
Probably
he is taking the piss out of Ghanaians by failing to credit Ghana with
the dance which has gained international recognition
Talking
about his new album ‘X’ and music video ‘Fine China’ on BET 106 &
Park yesterday, Chris Brown mentioned that he has incorporated a dance
from Africa called Azonto into his dance moves in the video. He even
went ahead to request for a tune to be played, so he can
demonstrateAzonto to the millions of viewers.
Unfortunately,
he linked Nigerians Wizkid to the dance, saying he learnt it from
him-that is not so bad. But he categorically added that, Azonto is a
Nigerian thing…really? This is like me going on CNN to say EBA is a
Ghanaian food
Is Chris Brown taking the piss out of Ghana or is it that he does not know the truth about Azonto?
If
you are reading this post and you are on twitter, tweet @ChrisBrown and
say; For the last time, Azonto is a Ghana dance, get it straight man
