Koffi Olomide apologizes for kicking dancer in 'moment of madness'

One of Africa's veteran music stars has issued an apology after he was filmed appearing to kick a woman said to be one of his dancers. Congolese star Koffi Olomide called the incident a "moment of madness" and posted a statement to his Facebook page saying: "Once again I would like to apologize to my friends, brothers, sisters, fans and especially to the woman." He later appeared on a local television station in DR (Democratic Republic) Congo where he told a interviewer: "I deeply regret what happened. It was a moment of madness." Olomide has faced widespread condemnation and outrage since video of the incident which happened at Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta International airport on Friday surfaced. Kenyans on Twitter, popularly known as #KOT, immediately called for the arrest and deportation of the singer.
