Kaffy and her dancers



A Facebook user Michael Omani has called on popular Nigerian dancer Kaffy to stop accusing Nigerian musicians of maltreating indigenous dancers, alleging that she does the same thing to her dancers.

Omani, who claims to be one of Kaffy’s dancers, made the allegation in a video clip he posted on Facebook. Also appearing in the video are other dancers who affirmed the allegation made by Omani.

According to Omani, Kaffy doesn’t take care of her dancers and she owes many of them backlog of allowances.

This is coming less than 24 hours after Kaffy apologized to hip-hop musician, Davido, for accusing him and some Nigerian musicians of treating indigenous dancers badly.

Kaffy had gone on her Instagram page to allege that several dancers had trained and rehearsed with Davido for the Three Kings concert, only for him to say he no longer wanted them to perform with him at the last minute.

“We communicate with our bodies what words and sound can’t express. We paint a picture that defies laws of nature ND produce masterpieces beyond mere imaginations.

“It requires a lot of brain power to begin to be a dancer not to talk of the ability to command muscles people can’t imagine using and that is still underrating the Power of the Art of Dance.
From youth empowerment to mind empowerment it is the least looked into form of psychological, physical and spiritual reformation.

“And I can categorically tell u alot of lives have been changed for the better because we danced.
So WE MATTER. beyond the dance floor we matter against all odds of societal definition of success we matter,thrive and we rule.

“I know great minds out there in our world that will rise up too. It’s been years and I have been quiet for too long. And this is not just in Africa it’s everywhere.

“Davido was just the last straw. It didn’t start with him but we can put a stop. Thank you to all who support this fight. God bless.”
