Nigerian street hop sensation Portable has had a change of heart after criticism followed his attack on a pastor.

Portable recently made headlines for the wrong reasons after he attacked a pastor who came to preach in front of his bar.

In a clip that circulated online, Portable was recorded slapping the cleric who was preaching close to the singer's bar in Abule Elegba axis of Lagos state.

Portable's actions drew heavy criticism from different quarters, especially from Christian ministers who declared it an attack on the body of Christ.

In his effort to defend himself, the Street pop star in a video on his Instagram story claimed that he wasn't aware that the gentleman he assaulted was a man of God and if he was aware, he wouldn't have taken that course of action.

Portable has now taken his act of penance a bit further by hosting what appears to be a crusade in his bar during which he was visibly in tears as he asked for forgiveness from all pastors for attacking one of them.

"Forgive me," Portable says in Yoruba in the video where he appears to be in an overwhelming spiritual state.

In the video, a gentleman who appears to be the host pastor also apologised on behalf of the viral musician whom he asked that pastors see as their son.

The musician known for his news-making antics has had a year where he has been on the news for the wrong reasons and fans will be hoping he turns a new leaf after his teary apology.
