Klenam happened to be one of the many people who came up on stage to showcase their dance moves.

In a video shared on Instagram, the 11-year-old schoolgirl, still in her uniform, showed some choreographic dance moves to Team Enternity's Defe Defe.

Her dance impressed Delay who stood behind the girl. Holding a microphone, the media personality was full of smiles.
