In the trending video, a confrontation ensued in the streets of Ghana, where a yet-to-be-identified woman unleashed her fury on an elderly man who gave friendly advice.
The elderly man in the video found himself on the receiving end of a barrage of insults after reportedly advising the woman about the potential health risks associated with tattoos.
The footage showed the man, dressed in a striped shirt, talking with a younger woman who had a visible tattoo on both her arms and back. The man was said to have warned her concerning a high risk of being diagnosed with cancer.
However, what started as seemingly well-intentioned advice quickly escalated. The woman, visibly agitated, responded with a series of harsh insults, prompting a tense exchange which drew the attention of onlookers.
Instead of ignoring or acknowledging the comment, she launched into a tirade, questioning the man's right to speak to her.
She repeatedly shouted, 'Who are you to stand and advise me?' while raining down a stream of insults.
The situation quickly escalated, drawing the attention of onlookers as the woman's shouting grew louder and more aggressive.
