Another US Based Dancer Calls Out Davido and Management Over Unpaid Fees
According to Chicago based Nigerian dancer, Sarah, Davido and his management refused to pay dancers he used at his One Africa Music Fest in New York.While backing Kaffy's rant, Sarah revealed that this won't be the first time Davido has dumped his dancers minute before his stage act, in a lengthy note on gram, Sarah wrote;
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 them 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! #dancersnotbeggers #respectthedancer #SayRah
