According to the clip, after she threw the first punch, the man retaliated, and the TikToker suggested the woman ended up in the hospital.

“Dem beat DJ Dimple to stupor until she fainted 😂😭😭 she go Dey form for where man Dey because you get big body 😂😂.”

“I’ve been getting messages about a post on Twitter that I was beaten up at the gym. Please stop spreading lies about me. I am not even a troublesome person. I am always in my lane. Why can’t you guys just let me be.”
