In a dramatic turn of events, Nigerian singer Portable has been caught on video allegedly slapping a pastor during a live session, stirring significant backlash online.
The incident unfolded during a live broadcast where Portable, known for his fiery online presence, was engaging with fans.

Portable immediately went outside to confront the preacher, resulting in a physical altercation where he reportedly slapped the pastor.
Upon returning inside, Portable continued his tirade in Yoruba, expressing his disdain for Christianity and declaring his allegiance to African traditional religion. His actions quickly drew ire from netizens, who took to social media to criticize his behavior:
