Portable on Monday, went live on Instagram as he confronted a middle-aged man outside his bar in Sango Ota, Ogun State.
The visibly enraged singer, addressing the man who seemed to be holding a Bible, questioned, “Why disturb my customers on a Monday morning?” before proceeding to slap him.
“This is how they spoil my business and disturb my business. Are you crazy? Early on a Monday, you’re spoiling my business. I had prayed for myself before leaving home,” he added before asking the man to leave the vicinity.
This action did not sit well with many social media users; some of whom called him out for assault.
