Renown Nigerian dancer and choreographer, Kafayat Shafau-Ameh simply known as Kaffy, has opened up on why people think she is hateful.
While speaking in an Instagram live chat, the popular dancer disclosed that her toughness has in several occasions been mistaken by some people in the industry for hatred.
Kaffy also said that some people find it absurd when they hear her speak fluently.
She said;
“When I started out as a dancer, I always spoke fluently and because I spoke fluently, that made an impression on those I was talking to. People were shocked that I could speak fluently. I don’t have what it takes to make someone ‘blow’; I can only impart knowledge and try to help you when you ask for it.”
“Some dancers will come and expect me to pat them on the back. I am not going to pat you on the back because life will not pat you on the back. I will (only) pat you when it is necessary and correct you when it is needed. Sometimes, people confuse your toughness for hatred. I don’t have the capacity to hate.
“If you come to me saying you want to learn how I got to where I am, I would show you the way life showed to me. My rehearsals are my motivational speaking sessions. Anytime we rehearse, I speak to my dancers. I do it for them to understand my direction and mindset.”
