By NAIROBI NEWS REPORTER July 22nd, 2016 1 min read

Congolese musician Koffi Olomide trended on social media for the better part of Friday after a video captured him kicking and slapping one of his dancers shortly after landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

Furious Kenyans took to social media to vent through the hashtags #DeportKoffiOlomide and #ArrestKoffiOlomide, demanding for the musician’s arrest and deportation.

Kenyans also threatened to boycott the Congolese singer’s show is scheduled for Saturday night at the Bomas of Kenya.

Here are some of the reactions posted on Twitter:

Deport this IDIOT @KoffiOlomide_KC to Congo! Kenya 'd never accept this kind of disrespect on its women #BoycottKoffiOlomide #DeportKoffi

We join horrified Kenyans in condemning Koffi Olomide's conduct at JKIA today. Violence at workplace is not a Kenyan culture. @JBoinnet

If Koffi Olomide is still in #Kenya & will go on with the show, the problem is with the Kenyan system #BoycottKoffiOlomide

Koffi Olomide almost broke a woman's womb at JKIA and police did nothing! Who beats a female in 21st century? #KickKoffiOlomideBackToCongo
