Singer Portable has responded to the controversy over his recent altercation with a pastor who was preaching outside his bar.

In an Instagram post on Monday, September 16, Portable explained that his sister had recently been attacked by a man pretending to be a pastor, which left him deeply traumatised.

Portable claimed that the preacher’s behaviour seemed suspicious, leading him to believe it was another setup.

He apologised for his behaviour but emphasised that his reaction was a natural response to his distress.

Portable explained: “They wanted to set me up. He was not a man of God, and if he was a man of God, may God forgive me for slapping him. If I knew he was a real man of God, I wouldn’t have slapped him. The way he acted was why I slapped him, I’m a human being and I’m not perfect.”

He then apologised for his actions.

His apology came after gospel singer, Testimony Jaga, gave him an ultimatum of three days to apologise to the slapped pastor or face the consequences of his action.
