Award-winning Ghanaian actor Majid Michel has earned widespread praise on social media after a video of him dancing Adowa at the funeral of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, surfaced online.
The popular actor, known for his versatile performances on screen, arrived at the funeral grounds elegantly dressed and completed his look with stylish black sneakers with white soles.
He was welcomed by a troupe of traditional dancers performing Adowa, the graceful dance central to Ashanti cultural ceremonies.
In the now-viral clip, Majid Michel is seen joyfully joining the dancers, moving perfectly in rhythm alongside a strikingly dressed Adowa performer adorned in colourful kente, handmade beads and gold jewellery.
His energetic moves — including a dramatic jump into the air and rhythmic shaking of his head — were interpreted by onlookers as an expression of deep respect and shared grief at the passing of the revered Queen Mother.
Fans and mourners alike have since praised Michel for embracing and showcasing the richness of Ashanti culture during such a solemn occasion.
