Dance entrepreneur, Kaffy on Wednesday
lashed out at artistes who disrespect dancers
on stage or cancel at the last minute.
However, although she later apologized, a
Chicago based dancer/choreographer,
SayRah, took to social media this morning to
reveal what actually happened. Read
below....
RESPECT THE DANCER! At this point people
need to take their time to listen and read
before commenting. This entire situation
about Nigerian artists disrespecting dancers
is far beyond 'DavidO'.@kaffydance used the
reoccurring events of Davids disrespect as an
example of how a lot of Nigerian musicians
(not all) do not appreciate dancers and our
contributions to their crafts ( stage, music
Videos or even promo social media videos).
Being that I was part of the first incident at
the One Africa Music Fest ( NewYork) I know
how I felt when David decided right as we
were walking on stage that he no longer
wanted dancers. I personally felt disrespected
and felt like he had no regards for my
artistry as a dancer.
At this point we all were
upset and had to change right in the
stadium, in front of all these people. Then @
kaffydance tells his manager that he'll still
have to pay the dancers because of our time
wasted ( dressed and on stage) then his
manager runs back to us and said " He still
wants dancers, he just didn't want the for
the first song.
Tell them to get on for the
next songs" Irritated and stressed we still got
up there and did what we had to do.
Fast forward a few weeks later, Kaffy had to
pay the dancers out of her own pocket.
I
know this Cus I was there and I did the
transfer to the dancers.
Kaffy NEVER GOT
PAID! While David's manager kept telling her
he'll pay soon only for David to finally tell
her that he's NOT PAYING! Please tell me
why she wouldn't be pissed off? This is not
about 3thrones (that was just him
disrespecting dancers at rehearsals) this is
about the never ending disrespect and
underpaying of dancers in the Nigerian
entertainment industry. Y'all WE NEED TO
FIX THIS! Coming for Kaffy is not the issue
and DavidO is not the issue. This is like a
plague that needs to be flushed out of the
system.
I am not saying kaffy doesn't have
her faults (we all have our faults) but this is
not a kaffy thing - it's a dancer thing .
RESPECT THE DANCER - PAY THE DANCER -
ACKNOWLEDGE THE DANCER!#
