KUMBE HUYU AMEZOEA KUPIGA WATU PASIPO KUCHUKULIWA HATUA
There was early morning drama at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after Congolese rhumba maestro, Koffi Olomide, assaulted one of his dancers in public glare.
Koffi, also known as Le Grand Mopao, jetted into the country Friday morning for a live concert to be held at the Bomas of Kenya on Saturday.
He was caught on camera kicking a female dancer who had accompanied him to Kenya for the much-anticipated concert.
According to reports, the female dancer had responded negatively to a request by Koffi’s wife, Cindy, prompting him to react violently.
In the video, Police officers and airport officials are seen trying to calm him down shortly after kicking the dancer.
Koffi was then chauffeured to Villa Rosa Kempinski hotel where he will be staying during his visit.
It is not the first time the musician is being accused of assault. In 2012, Koffi was handed a three-month sentence for assaulting his producer Diego Lubaki.
It is reported that Koffi Olomide confronted Diego and punched him after paying him several thousand dollars for a video that was never produced.
In the same year, a French judge charged him with three counts of rape and illegal confinement following complaints from three of his former backup dancers.
In 2014, Koffi made headlines after again kicking a freelance photojournalist Jean Mandela in the face for taking photos of him after a live performance at Pomdzi hotel in Zambia.
However, the case was dropped by the police citing “lack of collaboration between the police and the complainant.”
Koffi is in Nairobi for the second time this year after performing at the 11th edition of the Koroga Festival held at the Arboretum Gardens, Nairobi in March.

Kenyans react to video of Koffi Olomide assaulting female dancer
Congolese musician Koffi Olomide has been making headlines for the better part of the day for all the wrong reasons. The singer was caught on camera physically assaulting a female dancer shortly after landing in Nairobi.
The dancer reportedly had a disagreement with Koffi’s wife Cindy, prompting him to throw a kung fu-like- kick at her.
Following the drama, Kenyans on social media have threatened to boycott Grand Mopao’s show which is scheduled for Saturday night at the Bomas of Kenya. Here are some of the reactions:
Dom Onindo: And still women will want to go to the show
Em Jmuuch: He shud av been deported immediately, we value women in kenya
Fundi Frank: So so childish from such an old man who should be a role model. If he can kick her like that in public and in full view of a camera, what he does in private must be despicable. Where is FIDA?
Wanjala Lucas: And he still roam around in our country so sad, women group in Kenya all they care about is #MyDressMychoice time to show solidarity to this young girl

Paul Muema: Have been his fan sinc 1998 while in form one...i have ditched his music...deleted all his music from my folder...destroyed all olomide’s cds...forever won’t listen to his music!
Alfred Otieno Ogola: Ama kweli wanadensi na wengine wenye vutuo vya chini kwenye vikundi hivi vya miondoko na uimbaji hupitia mengi... Ni aibu kubwa kweli....
Samuel Rodgers: Our officers need to show respect to our country. A foreigner cannot just violate a law and an officer just watch as if it’s a certain video, that’s too bad. I hope this will not be left easily. Something needs to be done to teach the guy a lesson.
Simon Gitonga: That's a total disgrace for a musician of His calibre. Kenyans should boycott his event or go there and place Him where he belongs. That dancer is a Congolese but to us she is someone's daughter,sister,mother or wife. We must rise up for her
