NIGERIAN singer, Portable has addressed the controversy surrounding his altercation with a preacher on September 9, 2024, apologising for his actions.
Portable explained on Instagram that weeks prior, someone disguised as a pastor had attacked his sister, leading him to believe the preacher was an imposter.
"He was not a man of God...If I knew he was a real man of God, I won't have slapped him," Portable stated.
The incident occurred at Portable's bar in Ogun State, where the preacher was evangelising. Portable confronted, insulted, and slapped the preacher, saying, "Why are you doing this? Are you crazy? Why are you coming to disgrace me in my bar?"
Portable claimed self-defence, stating, "The way he acted was why I slapped him, I'm a human being and I'm not perfect...I had prayed for myself before leaving home."
