Famous Nigerian dancer Korra Obidi Saturday visited the grave side of legendary Afrobeat genre founder Fela Anikulapo Kuti and paid a twerking tribute.
Obidi was welcomed by Fela’s son Seun Kuti who seem to have enjoyed the “gyrating” according to Obidi. She stated that she had to honour Fela with her twerking, because when he was alive, he loved women moving their hips.
“We all know that one thing Fela loved was a woman with gyrating hips, so I decided to pay Baba a homage. I decided to shake it for Baba. Seun was very happy,” Obidi said in the video shared on her social media platforms.
‘’You guys know what Baba likes, but you’ve never given him what he wants. Baba, this is a little twerk for you. Your legacy lives on. We love you,’’ she said.
“So we came to pay a little homage to the spirit of the originator of Afrobeats. He enjoyed it, I can feel it. Seun said he will see me in my dream,” Obidi added.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti, died on August 2, 1997, at 56, he never hid his love for women in 1978, he married 27 women in a single day in a traditional Yoruba ceremony, though many within his circle believe it was symbolic.
