The controversial street-pop artist Portable has apologised for hitting a priest who was supposed to offer a sermon at his bar.
According to Bmmblog, the musician was seen on camera slapping a pastor a few days prior.
After the attack, preachers and internet users threatened to take legal action against Portable for attacking a man of God.
But in a video he posted around midnight on Monday, the musician addressed the uproar and explained his behaviour by citing prior experiences.
He explained that he attacked the pastor because he believed he was there to damage him spiritually, while pleading with God for forgiveness.
“My fans, problems in the community are not the same as problems on the street. Please pardon me, God. I had no idea that he was a true man of God. I wouldn’t have slapped him if I had known.
“I am a child of God as well. Being human, I’m not flawless. As an orphan, I am. Using the same tactic, they have hurt my sister.
