The vibe for the sleeping side, I think it\u2019s a huge disrespect for Zigi to come out and say some of the artistes are sleeping; you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eugene went on to highlight that some music artistes invest significant sums of money in dancers to enhance their music\u2019s appeal. He stressed that this practice had been a long-standing tradition in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of them are charging really big money to actually dance to the music. What he\u2019s doing is not for a fee, but he thinks someone is sleeping. You understand what you\u2019re doing. You\u2019re charging the person before you do it for them,\u201d Eugene explained.<\/p>\n<p>He further noted that music artistes had deep respect for dancers and would never make derogatory remarks about them. Eugene stated, \u201cBut we [Musicians] never went to sit there and say dancers are sleeping before because I\u2019m just speaking for my people. I think we [musicians] respect them that much to say that we won\u2019t post a particular person\u2019s videos again because he dances like he\u2019s asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Incredible Zigi has since issued an apology for his comments, attempting to mend the rift caused by his earlier statements.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kuami Eugene Musician, Kuami Eugene, has strongly criticized popular Ghanaian dance artiste and choreographer, Amofa Michael, professionally known as Incredible Zigi, over his recent comment regarding some music artistes being \u201csleeping.\u201d Eugene deemed the statement as both childish and disrespectful to those working tirelessly in the music industry.
