Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable, a street-hop musician, has alleged that he must play at the Celestial Church of God, Goshen Land Cathedral, in Lagos State, and that he was paid N5 million for the performance.
The church was recently chastised for inviting Portable and Fuji singer Pasuma to its praise session on December 15, 2023.
Following widespread anger, Celestial Church pastor Olatosho Oshoffa declared in a Facebook post that Portable and Pasuma would no longer be present at the event.
In response, Portable revealed in a viral video that he was required to perform at the church and that he was paid N5 million for his performance.
Speaking in Yoruba, the singer said,
“Celestial church we must do the show o, you have already paid me N5 million. Pasuma will perform, I will also perform and we must do it.
“The children of God are coming. Land of Goshen Cathedral please in God’s name, consider us as children of God. Don’t judge me by my appearance.”
