Renowned Broadcaster cum Communications Consultant, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah popularly known as KKD has shared his candid opinion on the trending one corner dance.
KKD, who was speaking on Neat FM’s “Entertainment Ghana”, expressed disgust at how Ghanaians, especially well respected people in society, have also jumped onto the one corner dance bandwagon by shamefully sharing it on social media as well.
Mr. Darkwah believes it is nigh time more positive things about Ghanaians is projected to the rest of the world than this proclivity to indulge in acts that rather make a mockery of the country.
“It is bad when the name of Ghana is dragged into something like this. A lot of educative things have come up in Ghana; a lot of brilliant personalities have visited us here. So let us also project those positive things too about our country. There are a lot of things in the world; there is good and there is bad, some are true some are lies.
The one corner dance, I think we should ask all those happily dancing, the reason why they danced to the beat of the song. Is the person just excited, or the person is using it to provoke or tease someone? What exactly is the reason why they engage in this 'one corner dance'? He asked.
The song, which is known to have been produced by Patapaa, has slowly become a national sensation and has come to be associated with a vigorous dance, which requires one to locate a secluded part of the environment and rigorously shake his or her body. Many celebrities including Shatta Wale, Emelia Brobbey and Akyere Bruwaa have in their own way endorsed the song and have joined in on the dance frenzy.
But His Royal Blackness, as KKD is affectionately called, minced no words in describing the popular ‘one corner’ dance as foolish.
“For me I think it is foolishness! Certain things happen and nobody is able to speak frankly about it. Tell you what, my sibling of mine will dance to this, and even if any of my family members decide to do this one corner dance, their father or their mother will call and ask are you foolish or you are mad?”.
When host Kwasi Aboagye asked why he thinks it is foolishness, KKD said, “If it is not foolishness then what is it? If people shake their buttocks and roll on the floor and share on social media and it is not foolishness, then what is it? It is either madness or sickness. I think sometimes we should be bold enough to say things just the way they are. I am not saying this out of anger, jealousy or with any hard feelings but I insist it is foolishness”.
Prior to KKD’s comments Ghanaian born UK based Gospel Singer Sonnie Badu also expressed his worries about how the one corner dance is slowly getting out of hand in a lengthy Facebook live session.

Spot on Kwesi, it is a ***barred word*** dance.
The man has spoken his mind but is not falsing anyone to side with him and those saying he is a ra*pi*st, when the girl saw the hotel name did it appear to her as a filling station or a church, do we meet men at hotels to read bibles? Leave the man alone and @B, if his son is a ga*y doe it mean he does it with him, u also sleep with ur mum so that ga*y son is better than u. He is not ***barred word*** of patapaa since there is nothing that guy got for KKD to envy him but the truth is this song does nothing but spoiling kids, go to parties now adays and see what the kids do there when this song is on, i pity the kids who will suffer on this cos this same song will end people up raping others so is not about being lil wayne or not cos even if it was lil wayne he would still have receive his blast. The man has spoken but not falsing anyone to side with him since we all have our views
the dance already existed. its not a Ghanaian invention it is danced by the Jamaicans. Ghanaian it is not ours.
YES I AGREE WITH U I WONDER WHETHER ITS A SONG OR WHAT? i JUST HEAT TO SEE THE DANCE.
Ghanaians love ***barred word*** things
KKD sleeping with small girls in the toilet is a shame so keep quiet. You are lucky you didn't even go to jail.
Womaniser keep quiet because you have no integrity.
If a common dance is foolishness of wonder how u can describe an old man involved in rape. ***barred word*** dude
