After hitting a pastor for giving a sermon in front of his pub, Portable is met with criticism.
The preacher was allegedly upsetting Portable’s patrons.
divisive Nigerian musician Portable has found himself in hot water once more—this time for physically assaulting a pastor who was doing a sermon in the way of his business.
When Portable saw an evangelist preaching close by on September 9, 2024, he was live-streaming on Instagram from his bar in Ogun State’s Sango neighborhood. His broadcast showed him approaching the man, slapping him after insulting and insulting him for supposedly upsetting his customers.
“Why do you act in this way? Are you insane? How come you’re going to my pub to shame me? The musician said, “Fuck you, bro,” and then slapped the pastor.
This is the way they interfere with and ruin my business. Are you deranged? You are ruining my Monday morning business. Before leaving home, I made a prayer for myself,” he continued, and he later drove the minister off the street.
Social media users reacted negatively to Portable’s behavior, criticizing him and labeling it as needless. Many even demanded that the artist be taken into custody for hitting the minister.
“So unnecessary, the pastor was leaving already,” one Instagram user commented. Why would you sl@p him once more? “There’s nothing that Portable can’t gather up and do.”
“Slapping an adult man on live simply because you’re a celebrity or whatever before this country can be good, many things need to be addressed and mended, not only our govt be our oppressor,” another enraged user remarked
“He was caught on camera assaulting another human being,” an X user wrote. He ought to be held accountable for this absurdity.
“I’ll never be able to take this animal seriously.” Imagine people laughing and applauding him in the live comment section of the show. What an irksome/disgusting piece of shit. He’d never be anything more than an exploitative street urchin, and he can never amount to anything outside of this country because this country is lawless and encourages uselessness,” another X user wrote.
