Portable to celestial church: ‘You paid N5m, I’m ready to perform”
Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable has reacted to being dropped from a Celestial Church’s program.
Recall that there was massive outcry on social media after a Celestial Church, Land of Goshen Cathedral, listed Portable, Pasuma, and others to perform at their Ankara praise night.
Shortly after that, Portable took to social media to address the issue and the video went viral. In the clip, the Zazu crooner insisted on performing at the church.
Also in the video, Portable revealed that the church has already paid him N5 million and he must perform. According to the controversial singer, he and Pasuma will perform because they are children of God.
Not stopping there, Portable pleaded with the Celestial Church in God’s name to allow him to perform. He added that the church leaders should not judge him by his appearance.
In his words:
“Cele we must do the show o, you have paid me N5 million and we must do it. Pasuma will perform, I will also perform and we must do it. This child of God is coming. Land of Goshen Cathedral please in God’s name, consider us as children of God, don’t use my looks to judge me.”
