Dancer Nicholas Botchey, popularly known as Afrobeast has revealed the reason his partner and co-founder of the dance group Dance with Purpose, Dancegod Lloyd was absent from Usher’s set at the Global Citizen Festival held on Saturday.
According to Afrobeast, Dancegod Lloyd was “unavailable” throughout the rehearsal session for the event, as he was attending to other equally important projects in another country.
“Dancegod Lloyd happened to be in Nigeria during the rehearsals,” said Afrobeast. “He missed 90% of the entire rehearsal sessions.”
Even though the “dance god” was through with his project before the final rehearsal kicked off, he couldn’t join the crew to perform because the list of dancers had already been submitted to the Global Citizen Festival event organizers.
“The thing is, they wanted a certain amount of number and Dancegod Lloyd wasn’t available at the time,” Afrobeast revealed.
He further explained, “Before you even get on the stage, they go through the list —and if your name is not in the list, you can’t be on the stage.”
