Portable Claims Divine Authority After Slapping Preacher

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has recently made headlines again after a controversial incident involving a pastor. Portable, who was filmed slapping a preacher at his Odogwu bar, has sparked a significant reaction among religious communities and fans alike.

In a surprising twist, Portable has referred to himself as a pastor, claiming that he speaks on behalf of God. This declaration came after the incident drew widespread condemnation from various religious leaders. According to Portable, his divine role as a pastor means that everything he says is considered the word of God, and if the man he slapped were truly a pastor, God’s spirit would have revealed it to him.

Portable’s response, shared through his Instagram stories, defends his actions by asserting that he communicates with God openly and privately. Despite his reputation for a tough persona, he insists that he remains a faithful servant of God. He dismissed claims that he disrespected the pastor, arguing that if the preacher had been genuine, he would have been informed by divine revelation.
