Nigerian singer Portable has addressed his exclusion from an upcoming Celestial Church praise night, stressing that he should not be judged by his appearance.
MUK TV earlier reported that the controversy surrounding Portable’s invitation arose when the Celestial Church of God, Land of Goshen Cathedral in Lagos State, initially announced him alongside popular Fuji musician Pasuma as guest artistes for an upcoming program, sparking a public backlash.
In response to the criticism, Celestial Church leader Olatosho Oshoffa, in a Facebook post, later declared that Portable and Pasuma would no longer be part of the event.
Portable, reacting to this development, urged others not to judge him solely based on his looks, appealing to be considered a child of God.
He disclosed that the church had paid him N5 million for his performance and insisted on fulfilling his part of the deal.
Speaking in Yoruba, the singer expressed, “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.”
