When the video went viral, he spoke about the matter in a now-viral audio claiming that he wanted to speak to Bella.
The businessman said that he called the artist to the side after meeting her at the event, and she started screaming.
Motiriot claimed that he had previously warned her against speaking ill of him on social media.
"What happened is that this girl... yesterday we met. We had met previously before that event, and I had told her to stop what she was doing online. Yesterday I met her and told her, 'let's go speak on the side.' I took her to the side, and she started screaming, so I beat her because she had soiled my name. We did not get inside the car. I wanted us to talk, so I took her to the side," he said.
The businessman, not remorseful for his actions, admitted to hitting Bella.
"She has been talking about me on a daily and I had told her to stop speaking about me. So I slapped her," he added.
Bella had discussed petty gossip surrounding the businessman and another artist, Jeff Star.
The gossip was in bad taste, but Kenyans have condemned Motiriot for taking matters into his own hands.
