Ghanaians Mad At Chris Brown For Calling Azonto A Nigerian Dance by dadde(m): 2:12pm On Apr 03, 2013
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…”
Lol!

Sorry Ghana, if CB thinks azonto is a Nigerian dance its simply because it was made popular by Nigeria, if we live it for Ghana it won't pass Accra. Do you know "i feel good" by James Brown was originally composed by Orlando Julius. So sometimes u have to chill for ur Oga.

Azonto may have originated in Ghana, but it was perfected and repackaged in Nigeria.

Can you blame us? They brought out a very local dance. We took it, cleaned it and repackaged it to commercial quality and yet they are angry.


If not for Nigerians, azonto would have remained in Ghana and nobody would have known about the dance. naija nor dey dull o.
