Seun Kuti Approves Korra Obidi’s Twerking Tribute at Fela’s Grave [VIDEO]

Popular Nigerian musician Seun Kuti, the last born of the late Afrobeat founder Fela Kuti, has reacted positively to the controversial twerking tribute performed by dancer Korra Obidi at his father’s graveside.

Dependable NG reports that Korra Obidi, during her visit to Nigeria over the weekend, visited Fela’s grave and recorded a twerking performance in his honor, sharing the video widely on her Instagram page.

Explaining her actions, Korra stated: “I gave baba an offering. We visited the grave site of Anikulapo Kuti today, and we all know that one thing Fela loved was a woman with Gyrating hips. So I decided to twerk for baba.”

Reacting to the dance, Seun Kuti appeared to appreciate Korra’s gesture, suggesting it was aligned with Fela’s vibrant, unconventional lifestyle and cultural preferences.

Seun Kuti posted his approval, saying: “You guys know what baba likes but you will never give him what he wants. E go better for you my sister.”

The development has, however, sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms, with many critics arguing that Korra’s provocative performance was disrespectful and crossed a line of appropriate conduct at a burial site.
