Nigerian Dancer, Kaffy, Loses 82-year-old Mother
Award-winning choreographer, Kafayat Shafau-Ameh better known as Kaffy, has lost her mum. She was 82 years old.
Kaffy announced the passing of her mother in an Instagram post on Monday morning, alongside a video where mother and child can be seen flaunting some dance steps.
However, the talented dancer did not disclose the cause of her mother’s death.
”Mama has gone to Rest! #82” she wrote
The death of Kaffy‘s mother, comes days after Destiny Etiko, Nigerian actress, buried her late father, who passed away earlier this month.
Born on June 30, 1980, Kaffy‘s dancing career took off after she went to an event to perform onstage by someone who spotted her when she used to go to the National Stadium during weekends for dance rehearsals and workouts.
She is renowned for leading her dance group to break the Guinness Book of Record for Longest Dance Party in 2006.
Kaffy who doubles as a fitness coach is the founder and owner of Imagneto Dance Company.
In 2019, she revealed that she wanted to be an aeronautic engineer not a dancer.
“I wanted to be an aeronautic engineer; I never wanted to be a dancer. Let’s be real to ourselves, a lot of us went to school to study something; but are not practising what we studied. But the knowledge of that has helped,” she said.
