“I was very good. I used to be in the same team with Thomas Partey, the name of the team is Ashaiman All Stars.
“I don’t remember but I was very young. I don’t look at him with regret. I’m content with what I have now. I stopped playing because they said I was too short. My parents were happy with the football. My dad was however not happy with how I was living life.”
Dancegod Lloyd has since been featured to several music videos, including Beyonce’s much-hyped “Already” with Shatta Wale.

He, however, disclosed that his journey hasn’t been easy and at a point, he wasn’t seeing eye to eye with his parents due to his decision to become a dancer.

“My parents were angry with me so I had to leave home. I was staying with Mr. Drew. I stayed with almost every friend because I was on the streets. I formed a dance group with Mr. Drew,” he narrated.
“We were three and the other guy was Mr. Showtime. We danced for the likes of Guru and a whole lot of artistes. We were being paid GHC50 but I wasn’t deterred because I was chasing my dream.
“My parents were not in my life then but I occasionally went home on their blindside. They were not speaking with me at all. I parted ways with Mr. Drew because he wanted to do music and wanted us as backup dancers. We didn’t like the idea so we decided to go our separate ways,” the dancer added.
