Following the attack, Portable faced backlash from netizens’ and other preachers who threatened to take action against him for assaulting a man of God.
Portable, the controversial Nigerian street-pop star, has begged for forgiveness after he slapped a pastor who came to preach at his bar.
Recall that the singer had a few days ago caught on camera slapping a pastor.
Following the attack, Portable faced backlash from netizens’ and other preachers who threatened to take action against him for assaulting a man of God.
However, addressing the controversy in a video he shared in the midnight on Monday, the singer attributed his actions to past experience.
While begging God for forgiveness, he explained that he attacked the preacher because he thought he was there to cause him spiritual harm.
“My fans, community issues are different from that of the street. May God forgive me. I didn’t know he was a genuine man of God. If I knew I wouldn’t have slapped him.
“I’m also a child of God. I’m human, I’m not perfect. I am an orphan. They have harmed my sister through this same strategy.”
