Why I attacked pastor preaching outside my bar – Portable
Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable, has shared the reason he slapped the pastor who came to preach at his bar.
According to the street hip-hop star, who described himself as an orphan, he thought the preacher was there to cause him spiritual harm.
Portable recalled that his sister was once hurt using the same strategy.
In a video he shared at midnight on Monday, the singer begged for forgiveness.
“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,” Portable said.
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.
