The duo who spoke to Encomium magazine last week Saturday have said, Twerking started from Africa and Fela’s dancers are known to have done it better than Miley Cyrus. So there's no way they tried to imitate the western world in their new video ‘silifa’.
It’s people with inferiority complex that say we are imitating the western world. They’ve argued why couldn’t we imitate the likes of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or Shina Peters? As far back as the 80's, Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s girls used to twerk on stage better than what Miley Cyrus’s do these days. Honestly, twerking started from Africa, it has always been part of our dancing culture. Yorubas call it ‘Redi’. So, why are they rubbishing it?
