After outburst, Kaffy apologises for calling Davido names

Hours after she blasted HKN honcho Davido in a video on her Instagram page calling him names for disrespecting her dancers when he (Davido) called off their services a few minutes before a show, celebrated choreographer Kaffy has apologised for her outburst.

Kaffy noted in her apology posted on Instagram that she usually does not react that way when offended but felt slighted by Davido’s action considering the fact that the dancers had put in time training and rehearsing for the show which they eventually failed to partake in.

However, Kaffy still insisted that dancers should be treated with respect and not with disdain or disrespect saying such acts are unethical, unprofessional and will no longer be condoned.

Read her comments below;

“I want to start by apologizing profusely for my profanity. It’s not how I roll; .I am one person who promotes discipline and respect among dancers towards their clients and one another.

“However this issue is REAL. We MATTER and deserve respect as we have become part of the building block of the entertainment world.

“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 a lot 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. So it is time we take control and have a voice. Create structure that will protect us from further disrespect and I will do all in my power to continue to protect dancers. 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,” she posted.
