"Mine was directly to fly me there. That was around August -October. From that experience, I am always checking my dm."

Amofa is credited as the creator of the Pilolo and Kupe dance steps as elements in Afrobeats/Azonto, which have been infused in choreographies by internationally acclaimed musicians and dancers, including American singer and dancer, Janet Jackson. But he did not attain the feat on a silver platter.
He had to defy odds and push against his father's original desire to become a doctor.
