Korra Obidi has stirred reactions online after visiting the grave of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti and twerking as a tribute to the late musician.
In a video shared on social media, the singer and dancer explained her actions, saying, “Fela loved a woman with gyrating hips, so I decided to pay Baba a little homage — I shook my nash for him.” She added that Seun Kuti, Fela’s son, encouraged the gesture, telling her, “You know what Baba likes — will you never give him what he wants.”
Korra said her visit was meant to celebrate Fela’s enduring influence on Afrobeat and to honour his legacy. She described feeling his spirit during the tribute and noted that Seun mentioned Fela might even appear to her in a dream.
The video has sparked mixed reactions online. Some praised Korra for her bold and creative way of celebrating Fela, while others criticised the provocative nature of dancing at his grave. The incident has reignited debates on how best to honour cultural icons — through traditional reverence or expressive, unconventional tributes.
