The altercation, which was captured on Instagram Live, sparked criticism from fans and religious leaders.
Portable shared his side of the story on Instagram, claiming that his sister had been attacked by someone posing as a pastor just weeks prior.
He stated that he believed the preacher in question was not a genuine man of God and was trying to “set him up.”
Portable acknowledged that he is not perfect and apologized for his actions, saying, “If I knew he was a real man of God, I won’t have slapped him. The way he acted was why I slapped him, I’m a human being.”
He sought understanding and forgiveness for his behavior.
