In January this year, the stressed singer was suspended for two years by French after being declared guilty of raping one of his former dancers, who was 15 years of age by then.

On top of that, during the court hearing, four of his former dancers allegedly said that the singer repeatedly assaulted them sexually between the year 2002 and 2006.

In 2016 July, the Kenyan Authorities arrested Koffi Olomide after he allegedly beat one of his dancers at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
