We spoke to several sources who have seen surveillance footage recorded Sunday outside the APT 4B restaurant. We are told that Chaka, her daughter and another friend were leaving an event, walking through the parking lot when Chaka approached another man.
Our sources say that in the video, Chaka and the other man start exchanging words, but things escalate and the conversation becomes more visually intense … all the while the other man supposedly keeps his hand on his waist and around.
We are told that at one point, a woman pushed Chaka’s other man away, but she didn’t back down … and then things intensified when Chaka approaches the man again, who seems to be hitting her. Chaka with the chest. and Chaka grabs the man by the neck.
