The incident generated a lot of reactions and drew backlash from netizens who condemned the artist’s aggressive behaviour, reigniting discussions about his controversial public conduct.

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.
