The controversial street-pop artist, Portable, has expressed remorse following an incident in which he physically assaulted a pastor who had arrived to deliver a sermon at his venue.
Reports suggest that the artist was recorded on video striking the pastor a few days earlier.
In the wake of this confrontation, Portable faced considerable backlash from social media users and members of the clergy, with some threatening to take legal action against him for assaulting a religious figure.
In light of the public outcry, Portable shared a video late Monday night, in which he attributed his actions to past experiences.
While seeking divine forgiveness, he explained that his behavior stemmed from a belief that the pastor aimed 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.”
