Controversial street-pop star, Portable, has publicly apologized after being caught on camera slapping a pastor who came to preach at his bar. The incident, which occurred a few days ago, sparked outrage on social media, with many, including other religious leaders, condemning the singer’s actions.
Addressing the backlash in a video shared in the early hours of Monday, Portable explained that his reaction stemmed from past experiences and misunderstanding. He revealed that he thought the pastor was there to cause him spiritual harm, prompting his aggressive response.
While pleading for forgiveness from both God and the public, Portable expressed regret, saying, “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.”
The singer also shared that he acted out of fear due to a previous personal tragedy involving his sister, where she was allegedly harmed through a similar situation. “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,” he added.
The video has since gone viral, with many fans and social media users reacting to the singer’s apology.
