The reason for his deportation is that he was seen on a cell phone camera viciously attacking one of his dancers (Pamela) with two vicious kicks which happily did not land on target. It is not the first time Koffi has assaulted one of his dancers.<\/p>\n<p>Koffi has in the past said that growing up, Tabu Ley was his favourite musician and inspiration. Well Koffi should have listened to Tabu Ley. Back in the early 1980s Tabu Ley sung a song about domestic violence.The title of the song was : <em>Jalousie mal placee<\/em>.\u00a0 In the song, Tabu Ley encouraged women who face domestic violence at the hands of their husbands to leave their marital home and go to their homes.<\/p>\n<h2>\nSong Video<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8pfua04W9KQ\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h2>\n<p>The refrain of the song which prominently features the voice of Kuleta Pom Pom is sung from the perspective of a woman who has experienced domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Tika ngai nakende ozali kobeta ngai<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Yo olakaki baboti ba ngai okoki kobeta ngai te<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Kobeta mwasi ezalaki likambo ya tango ya ba mama<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Na tango na biso tokomi na tango ta commission feminine<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Oh oh ohh oh<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Yee yee yee<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Which roughly translates to:<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Leave me alone I am leaving because you have assaulted me<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #008000;\"> You told my parents that you were incapable of assaulting me<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #008000;\"> Beating women is something that used to happen during previous generations<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #008000;\"> Today we are in the era of women&#8217;s rights.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tabu Ley sung this song 35 years ago.
