Congolese Rumba maestro Koffi Olomide landed in Nairobi for his much-anticipated Bomas of Kenya concert.
Accompanied by a team of six, the celebrated star landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 6.20am to a glamourous welcome by a group of Kenyan fans who had gone to receive him.
He was then driven to the posh Villa Rosa Kempinski hotel where he will be staying while here.
There was a little drama at the airport as Le Grand Mopao, for that is how he is referred to as by many, engaged in an altercation with one of his dancers. The dancer is said to have reacted negatively to a request by Koffi’s singer wife Cindy who is in his company.
There was scuffle as Koffi told off the dancer
Koffi, who was captured in camera telling the dancer off was calmed by police officers at the airport before he was shown to his car that immediately sped off.
Tomorrow’s concert is the biggest event in town and the VIP slots are already sold out.
Over 6,000 are expected.
