The rapper - who had a number of top 40 hits including ‘Zim Zimma and ‘Ring a Ling’ between 2021 and 2013 - appeared to be on the back foot all the time before running away.
In the 40-second clip, Sneakbo is seen walking away from the taunting men in baseball caps until one approaches and pours a drink over him.
Seconds later, the same man throws a glass which breaks next to where the rapper was standing and three men begin chasing Sneakbo, who frantically sprints away in panic.
Shouting ensues as the Brit flees across then down the road until he's out of view.
The shocking scenes occurred in the upmarket resort of Puerto Banus near Marbella earlier this week.
Sneakbo, whose first UK single The Wave in 2011 peaked at 48 in the UK charts, attempted to laugh off the incident in a rambling Instagram message by claiming: “I'm still breathing and I'm free, that's all that matters to me.
"Catch me if you can. I promise I’m laughing, not a scratch on me."
He went on to say: "Minor issue with some folks I’ve never met in my life. Those who hate me will have to keep putting up with me."
Despite the obvious aggressiveness of the men who went for him, he insisted: “I still don’t want security cause they won’t be on what I’m on when it gets cracking.”
The 29-year-old posted a selfie of him in a white tracksuit top with a cat’s head photoshopped over his own alongside the message
The pic keeps alive a bizarre urban myth that has been doing the rounds for years and apparently started after he escaped some boys who had chased him into a McDonald’s in South London.
As the rumour spread, fans claimed the rapper used black magic to carry out the transformation/
Sneakbo, real name Agassi Babatunde Odusina, made no mention of where the fight had occurred but it was clear from footage posted online that it was in Julio Iglesias Avenue which is the main avenue running behind Puerto Banus marina.
