Some netizens believe Portable’s past actions are catching up with him. One netizen, Immanuel, commented, “Let’s take a step back… Portable was doing well until he slæpped that pastor and bvllied him for no reason. Since then, his life has been in turmoil. He needs to make amends to find peace. Even the deities he now calls on—Ogun, Esu, and the supreme Obatala—despise bvllying and indecency. Let him right his wrongs and be free.” However, Wola countered, “Bro before the issue with the pastor, portable has been a problem… His issue has nothing to do with deities he’s a troublesome guy.” Another person echoed this sentiment, asking, “Person wey dey cræze since day one na him you wan use promote your pastoral work?”
Others are more sympathetic. One comment simply reads, “Portable dey go through a lot.” Another netizen joked, “So all the powers weh e go collect for River no work 😂😂😂,” referencing a past video where he was seen making sacrifices at the river. Someone else pointed out, “Na today he dey cry. When he met Olamide he cried. When he visited the pastor he sl@pped he cried. So that his cry no be anything.” A more serious comment warns, “You don fight almost everybody for industry, so who’s gonna come to your aid?”
The reactions are mixed, ranging from concern to criticism. One other person even stated, “Portable, aka one day, many troubles.”
Whether it’s a genuine cry for help or another dramatic episode, Portable’s emotional outburst has definitely grabbed everyone’s attention. What do you think is the reason behind Portable’s tears?
