Portable Apologizes for Slapping Pastor, Blames Past Trauma
Controversial Nigerian street-pop artist, Portable, has publicly apologized after being seen in a viral video slapping a pastor who had come to preach at his bar.
The incident sparked outrage online, with many netizens and religious figures criticizing the singer’s actions and calling for accountability.
In a video posted early Monday morning, Portable addressed the situation and expressed remorse, attributing his reaction to previous traumatic experiences.
He explained that he initially believed the pastor was there with malicious intent, possibly to harm him spiritually, which led him to react in such a manner.
Reflecting on the incident, the artist acknowledged his mistake, stating that had he known the preacher was genuine, he never would have acted so aggressively.
Portable, who has had a history of controversies, admitted that his past experiences have shaped his outlook, especially incidents that involved his sister being harmed through similar deceptive tactics.
While appealing for forgiveness from both God and the public, he stressed that he is also a person of faith, even though he is not without flaws.
“I’m human, and like everyone else, I’m not perfect,” he said in the video, adding that his upbringing as an orphan has made him particularly sensitive to certain situations.
He called for understanding from his fans and community, reiterating that he didn’t intend to disrespect the church or the pastor, and emphasized that street life often comes with complex challenges.
Afrobeats star Oxlade has shared how Fireboy DML played a major role in shaping his music journey. Speaking during a recent livestream with popular content creator Shank Comics, he said Fireboy’s guidance in the early days of his career completely transformed the way he made music.
Oxlade praised Fireboy’s songwriting skills, calling him unmatched in the Nigerian music scene. He revealed that learning from Fireboy helped him understand how to properly structure songs before he eventually developed his own style. According to him, Fireboy’s support and mentorship were “life-changing” and a key part of his growth as an artist.
Media personality Radiogad has stirred fresh drama online with claims about the real reason behind the ongoing feud between activist VeryDarkMan and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Radiogad dismissed the widely held belief that their clashes are mainly connected to the Mohbad case. Instead, he alleged that VeryDarkMan is secretly in love with Iyabo Ojo but has never found the courage to tell her.
He suggested that the activist’s frequent online attacks on the actress might be rooted in personal feelings rather than genuine public interest. According to him, VeryDarkMan has a thing for older women and single mothers, which could explain his fixation on Iyabo Ojo.
Nigerian Media Personality, Radiogad, speculates on the reason behind VeryDarkMan and Iyabo Ojo’s feud.
It can be noted that the pair have been dragging themselves online as VDM calls out Iyabo Ojo usually in Late singer Mohbad’s case. Meanwhile Iyabo reacts and addresses the matter.
Radiogad then reacts and claims he knows the reason “I know the problem and I been no wan talk am but the way two of Una are going about it I am going to have to say it. Verydarkman you are in love with Iyabo Ojo but you no know how you go tell am.”
Fans then react to Radiogad’s claims and many state that the idea is impossible.
