While granting an interview, 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.
