Dancegod Lloyd (R) expressed disappointment in Slim Buster’s (L) comment
Founder of DGL Academy, Dancegod Lloyd, has addressed Slim Buster’s criticism accusing him of repeating the same dance moves during performances.
In an interview on Hitz FM on January 19, 2026, Dancegod Lloyd said although criticism is inevitable in the entertainment space, he was surprised when people he considers seniors in the field spoke negatively about him.
“No matter what you do, people will talk. You have people you look up to saying certain things about you, and you’ll be wondering what you’ve done. But I also feel that is his point of view,” he said.
Dancegod Lloyd is a good dancer but he keeps repeating the same moves – Slim Buster
On the issue of repeating dance steps, Dancegod Lloyd said he was disappointed by Slim Buster’s comments.
He defended his style, arguing that there is nothing wrong with repeating certain moves depending on the words used by an artiste on the song he is performing to.
“There is nothing wrong with repeating the same dance steps. When the artiste is talking about ‘head,’ I don’t know where else I can hold. I was very disappointed, because this is somebody we all used to look up to and love,” he argued.
Despite everything, Dancegod Lloyd said he still respects Slim Buster. He disclosed that he does not wish to engage in a conversation with the veteran dancer again.
“I still love and respect him, but I just feel that I wouldn’t want to have any conversation with him again. I remember one time he wanted me to dance to his song, but I directed him to go through the right channel, and I don’t know what happened there,” he added.
Slim Buster shared his concerns during an interview on Joy Prime TV in October 2025, noting that the lifespan of a dancer is usually short. He said dancers in Ghana need to diversify to stay relevant.
According to him, blending dance with music or other creative crafts is key to extending one’s career.
Using Dancegod Lloyd as an example, he claimed the dancer needs to evolve beyond similar dance routines.
“Dancers, their lifespan is limited. As a dancer in Ghana, your lifespan is limited, you need to add music. Without music, you’ll be stagnant. There is this guy called Dancegod Lloyd. “Dancegod Lloyd is a beautiful dancer but you can see he keeps repeating the same thing,” Slim Buster said.
