Controversial Nigerian musician, Portable, has been entangled in a fresh scandal after he was caught on camera slapping a pastor for preaching at his bar. 

The shocking incident was captured on Instagram Live, allowing viewers to witness the altercation unfold in real-time.

According to reports, the pastor had visited Portable’s bar to spread the word of God, but the musician took exception to the preacher’s presence, deeming it a disruption to his business. In a now-trending video on social media, Portable can be seen angrily warning the pastor to leave his establishment.

The confrontation quickly escalated, with Portable becoming increasingly agitated by the pastor’s refusal to vacate the premises. Despite attempts to calm him down, Portable’s anger boiled over, culminating in him slapping the pastor.

The altercation didn’t end there, as the confrontation spilled outside the bar, with Portable and the pastor continuing to exchange heated words.

Portable’s behavior has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some defending his right to protect his business, while others have condemned his violent outburst against a man of the cloth. 

The incident has added to Portable’s notorious reputation, cementing his status as one of Nigeria’s most controversial musicians.

“Osimhen Agrees to Join Chelsea in Blockbuster Transfer Worth €350,000-per-week”

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly agreed a €350,000-a-deal contract with Chelsea.

This is according to UEFA accredited sports journalist, Oma Akatugba.

Akatugba claims that Osimhen initially demanded €500,000-a-week to make the move.

He however insisted that the deal is not yet wrapped up amid interest from Saudi Arabia.

Akatugba wrote on X on Thursday: “The Victor Osimhen transfer saga seems to be leaning toward a move to Chelsea.

“According to my sources — not Victor or anyone from his camp — as of 11pm. last night, he agreed to a weekly wage of €350,000 with Chelsea.

“Initially, he sought €500,000 per week, but Chelsea persuaded him to accept the lower figure.

“However, Chelsea fans shouldn’t celebrate just yet, as this drama is far from over. The Saudi clubs are still in the race and are offering even more money.”

Peter Okoye otherwise known as Mr P, of the Famous P square, has penned an open letter to his brother Paul Okoye following their recent altercation.

In the letter, Peter accused his brother of always looking down on him and discrediting his efforts. He reminded Paul that none of them was bigger than their brotherhood, stating that the fans fell in love with P square not Rudeboy or Mr P.

Here is the contents of the letter in details.

Dear Brother

Just like I have told you several times, I am not in any competition with you or anybody else. However, seeing you grant countless interviews where you constantly discredit my efforts in the group that we both created and built together really speaks volumes.

In your recent interviews, you claimed that you wrote and sang 99% of all P-SQUARE songs and discredited me by saying that our song with TI “EjeaJo,” which I wrote, was a failure. You went as far as using the YouTube views to discredit me once again.

You never acknowledged the other songs like “Get-Squared,” “Bizzy Body,” “Personally,” “Roll It,” “Temptation,” “Alingo,” “More than a Friend,” “Shekini,” “Say Your Love,” “Gimme Dat,” “Senorita,” “IGBEdu,” and a few others. Were these songs also considered failures as well?

Every time I have spoken in interviews about P-SQUARE, I have always used “we” and “us” because I saw us as a team. But whenever you speak, it’s always “I” and “me,” even when I’m standing right beside you. It’s as if I never existed.

My brother, neither of us is the most talented artist in the world, but you fail to understand that God gave us this talent and even granted us another chance to excel after our last breakup. Instead, you chose to turn the most awarded and decorated music group in Africa into a laughingstock again.

One thing you need to understand clearly is that the fans didn’t fall in love with P-SQUARE because of who sang or danced the most. What made us special was the magic that came from our combined effort – us two! P-SQUARE was a force, and the fans fell in love with P-SQUARE because of our uniqueness and unity.

We both have talent, no doubt, and I have often praised you in our interviews for your songwriting ability. I have also praised anyone who has ever written a song for us or even for me as Mr. P. But instead of showing gratitude for my kind words, you seem to find satisfaction in rubbing it in my face, forgetting that it is by God’s grace that we have come this far.

ToRather than joining forces with me to reclaim our number 1 spot in the music industry, you chose to team up with Jude to claim the number 1 spot in the P-SQUARE group, always looking for opportunities to marginalize and humiliate me.

You are always claiming to be P-SQUARE’s songwriter, composer, producer, singer, backup vocalist, in fact you are everything including P-SQUARE’s video director, band, promoter, manager, even the choreographer. You are the Author and Finisher of P-SQUARE! In fact, I dash you 100% of everything instead of the 99% you claim.

I blame myself for not responding to your tweet claims in April 2015 that you wrote and sang all of P-SQUARE’s songs. I didn’t respond to these false claims for the sake of peace, as advised by family and friends, and now I am paying dearly for it.

So, my brother, let me ask you: Is Rudeboy or Mr P bigger and more successful than P-SQUARE today? Are we individually selling out arenas and stadiums like P-SQUARE used to? Are we topping world music charts with our songs as solo artistes?

Do we command crowds and entertain massive audiences like P-SQUARE?
I often find myself wondering, what do you truly gain by constantly disrespecting and belittling me all the time. You have disrespected my wife, disrespected my family, disrespected my talent, disrespected my ideas, and even sided with Jude when he was clearly trying to oppress me.

Now, it feels like you have taken it even further by trying so hard to turn the fans against me by making them believe I’m jealous of you.

You have been doing everything for the fans to hate me, but guess what? They will never hate me; instead, they will hate us both because we have disappointed and failed them.

I hope you are happy now. I genuinely wish you nothing but the best, bro! As for those who believe these lies and false narratives and come to my page to drop negative comments, I understand because you have been fed the wrong narrative for a long time.

Please allow me to focus and do my music in peace.
As for the EFCC matter, I will address it before the end of today. Stay tuned! Peace
