L’vovo Derrango accused of violent behaviour at the Durban July

Durban-born musician came under fire on Monday after being accused of inappropriate behaviour at the Durban July by YFM DJ, Thobi Mthembu.
Mthembu took to Twitter to sound the alarm on the alleged altercation that she says happened over the Durban July weekend at KwaMax Chisanyama, in KwaZulu Natal on Sunday. Lvovo Derrango was billed to perform on the day.
Expressing her utter disappointment in the entertainer, Thobi said she’d “lost all respect” in him after he threw a glass at her for accidentally bumping into him.

Soo lastnight I was backstage at some KwaMax event- and Im minding my own business, I move to see a performance and slightly bump some man..

The ‘Next Better Man’ would not have any of it, initially responding via a subtweeting then later going on to say that he chooses not to respond to ‘lies’:
