This is the problem with Africa...we do not authenticate and put a stamp on what we create,Nigerians wants to steal Azonto,i even witnesses Sierra Leone Azonto version at a recent party.
The very first time i saw the Azonto dance was in Gasmila`s video,i laughed my head off at the way they were shuffling their feet and dancing ..but the first time i heard the word `azonto` was in sarkodies song.Personally i think sarkodie created `a word` and Gasmila created `a dance` the word was so popular and the dance was also popular and it merged...Does anyone remember the song ADJOA YANKEY,By Paapa Yankson..and the Tie & Dye Clothe which was named after the song?......we all know paapa yankson didnt create the clothe and the fabric didnt creat the song but in those days every one knew what you mean when you say `adjoa yankey and they will respond w`oashia wonua!

So is dis means that nothing better than AZONTO can ever comes out from Ghana?? sorry u guys are so daft, some of u here said Nigerian stole it. Nigerian didnt stole it, they make money from it more than the founder, or Sakordie, wake up Ghanians, i have never heard any Nigerian artist fighting over one song, dis is so foolish and childish

People just twist words and come up with their own shit. Sarkodie first came out with "Azonto" word in his son you go kill me. Where were you Gasmilla. People start calling u king of Azonto becus of your funny dance, so stop crying like a little bitch, sarkodie first made the song danceable before the rest copy copy. In his interview he said Azonto was already there, we all knew that shit back in school, when we call girls azonto, he only said he made it to a song and gave birth to it and it fucking true

"He explained that through his work of making Azonto recognized in the music industry, he has had many media institutions like BBC, VOX Africa, etc and many scholars coming from distinguished Universities all over the world to interview him and produce documentaries on him, in which he educates them on how to do the Azonto dance." Interesting eh? Which distinguished universities? Just name one and produce the fact to convince us. Should l postulate that you are jealous of Sarkodie's achievement or popularity? This is what Ghanaian call "SKIN-PAIN"

There are many music industries making big & small money out of Azonto dance moves.I found it pity for you guys sitting down doing nothing (big headed stupid managers)to make good money but fighting as if as Azonto is a jackpot in waiting. Now you are running to the media for attention but what's next? Nothing comes out. Sarkodie & The Nigerians are on top but you are no more recognised in the Azonto business. You need to use any chance to promote your music world. Yes the BBC etc. has pin you in their achives but if you feel too much big in your shoes you can't dance anymore. The world still continue making money without you in focus. Sarkodie will take any opportunity to make fit situation.
