Taye shared a video showing his injuries, including bleeding gums and lips, accusing Peggy and her crew of physical assault. However, Peggy denies the allegations, claiming Taye was the aggressor and assaulted two crew members, including her driver, who suffered ear bleeding.
A CCTV footage has surfaced, appearing to contradict Peggy’s account, showing her removing her wig and preparing to fight Taye.
