Beyoncé appropriated like 50 indigenous African cultures. BUT she ensured that she worked with Africans themselves. Hired Africans. Consulted with Africans. Learned from Africans. Collaborated with Africans. Gave credit to Africans and is giving profit and spotlight to Africans.

Next workshop I teach with Nigerians or Nigeria, this will be a writing exercise. Read the paper below and write a short story of 1500 words with a backstory. How did we get here? And if it is good we make an anthology titled Copying Cuppy. Or All Former Documents Remain Valid.
I don't get the elitist posturing of Nigerians who say they don't speak pidgin. Pidgin is a leveler, breaks down barriers between people of different backgrounds/status. If you care about democratising your interaction with other Nigerians, why would you turn your back on Pidgin?
