Beyonce Knowles made history with her iconic performance at the Coachella. As it turns out, the lauded baton solo during “Like To Party”, was done by a Nigerian dancer, Diddi Emah.
Diddi Emah is part of the dance group, Bad Girls Club, who are directed by Sean and have worked with the likes of Missy Elliot, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and others.
Speaking about her experience at Coachella, Diddi said on Instagram:
“From a small village in Nigeria to the big stage with Beyoncé!!! You can’t tell me God isn’t real! This one is for all the small girls in villages back home in Nigeria. God is alive and kicking! Dream as big as you can-and then believe it!
Thank you for all the support. To perform behind the first black woman to SLAY the stage at Coachella-to slay the world. All hail the QUEEN Beyoncé . She is a true masterpiece, I’ve never watched someone work that hard- have her empire and family and move with so much grace.
Thanks for showing us all how to STOP THE WORLD. Thank you to all the Historical Black Colleges-you made this possible. I’m so proud to be African and American”
