Street-hop artist Portable, also known as Habeeb Okikiola, claimed he must perform at the Celestial Church of God, Goshen Land Cathedral in Lagos State, asserting he was paid N5 million for the performance.

The church faced criticism for inviting Portable and Fuji singer Pasuma to their praise night on December 15, 2023. Following public outcry, church leader Olatosho Oshoffa announced via Facebook that Portable and Pasuma would no longer participate in the event.
