Controversial street-pop star Portable has issued an apology following an incident where he slapped a pastor who came to his bar to preach. The altercation, which was caught on camera and shared by Gistlover.com, has drawn significant backlash from the public and religious leaders.
Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, faced criticism from netizens and threats of legal action from other preachers over the assault. In a video posted late Monday night, the singer sought to clarify his actions and express his remorse.
“I’m not perfect,” Portable admitted in the video. He explained that his reaction was influenced by past experiences and a misunderstanding of the pastor’s intentions. “I thought the preacher was there to bring me some spiritual trouble. 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,” Portable said.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the respect for religious figures and the importance of handling disagreements with dignity.
New Twist in Cubana Chiefpriest’s Paternity Case
In other news, a paternity dispute involving Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has taken a new turn. A Kenyan woman has alleged that the celebrity barman fathered her son during their relationship.
The woman has shared additional images of the child and has contacted the Data Protection Authority (DPA), which is now preparing to take legal action against Cubana Chiefpriest in the United States. The DPA’s involvement stems from concerns over Nigeria’s legal system, which they believe may not adequately address the case.
According to Gistlover, the DPA has revealed details about the relationship, including claims that Cubana Chiefpriest seduced the woman under false pretenses of being single. The woman reportedly did not know about his marriage. Reports also suggest that Cubana Chiefpriest was insistent on having a daughter, despite the woman’s warnings about their unprotected encounters.
The situation has reportedly caused significant distress for the woman, who has struggled with depression and contemplated drastic actions. The ongoing legal battle and public scrutiny are expected to continue as the case unfolds.
