Wizkid taught him how to do the dance, and definitely he did not tell him that it is a Ghanaian invention, so I don't blame him. The fact that he loves the dance and he is doing it in his music video is a good thing. Way to g ...

And so what? Chris stated he learned the dance from a Nigerian artist doesn't mean he's giving credit to nigeria. Stop this useless war and propaganda!!!
So what?!! Are you kidding?! Lol, no way is this a war or propaganda, this is an misinformation or plagiarism in my opinion. Ghanaians have come up with some many great things, and we do so much good, and have a lot to offer ...

You got it wrong mate.Yes Ghanaians are suffering from inferiority complex and kwashorkor but Naija is swamping Ghana and copying AZONTO andchanging it to ALINGO and alsotrafficing drugs huh!

inferior complex against nigerians? on what? your boko haram, 419 curruption or what. STOP COPPYING US GHANAINS-PERIOD. WE MIGHT BE SMALL IN POPULATION BUT WE ARE VERY POWERFUL AND INFLUENCIAL. GET IT??

And which Nigerian dance matches AZONTO. The fact is that, there is no such dance in Nigeria with global appeal as AZONTO. That is why Nigerians mimic it as alingo, well I laugh ... May be it will sound better if they call th ...

Azonto is a stupid dance anyway. Intelligent people should not give a 100th of their heads to a nullity called Azonto.
My friend if u dont like azonto then get a life because us Ghanaians like azonto and u dont so go to a different planet
AS you can see P-square made a song copying azonto but its called a alingo but let me tell you its alright making a song about azonto but it is not alright to take all the credits .
What kind of stupid credit do u ghanaians want, somebody worked hard for his album and u want their credit, u knot heads
He said he learnt it from Whiz kid, that does not mean he explicitly says it is Nigerian, simple English!
The woman beater explicitly said "I learnt that...I learnt it from a Nigerian artiste by the name of Wizkid...so I don't wanna act like I created it...it's in Nigeria." simple english ! I hope you get the meaning of that.
Who really cares what Chris Brown thinks, a guy who can beat a woman he claims he loves, the stupid man. No one really cares. He needs to be thinking about not hitting any woman. All you Nigerians are not better than Ghanaian ...

Look man, We are not going to let an American tear Africa apart. If azonto is Nigerian or Ghanaian dance, we will take it.
Every where in the diaspora nigerians succeed more than ghanaians. They seem to be more confident and their kids do well than ghanaians kids. Ghanaian are too tame and not business minded as nigerians. Fact and I am Ghanaian.

So this wizkid trying to steal azonto from Ghanaians now?
Nigerians think that Ghanaian's are swag so they copied our moves. We can't blame them. Go and perform somewhere else FOOL!!!!
CHRIS BROWN just need attention form Ghana. Tryn to pay a pay back game. Who publish dis at all. lol
this guy CB ,when will Ghanaian media grow? please think about something better and stop this hell talk
Point of correction, azonto is from gh. Wizkidd came to learn it from gh. Nigerian artiest like p square and wizkid can learn a lesson from Brown who was honest to admit he did not invent it.
WHY ARE GHANAIANS SO ENCHANTED ABOUT THIS 27 YEAR OLD SCHOOL DROP OUT? THERE IS NO BIG DEAL ABOUT BROWN. WHATEVER HE SAYS IS HERE SAY BECAUSE HE CAN'T READ!
Chris was under da influence of marijuana when in Ghana, so ignore his comment on Azonto.
Azonto is originated from Ghana it is
a kpanlogo dance from the gas.419 naija thieves jeolosy na kill you
