Portable spotted stirring blood-red liquid despite backlash over ritual-themed music

Portable, the street singer, has shared a video of himself performing what he suggested to be “money-making” rites.

In footage shared via his Instagram page, the singer could be seen stirring and tasting a thick blood-red liquid in a white bowl.

The video shows other white bowls surrounding the controversial singer, with one containing kola nuts and another containing raw meat.

A young boy could also be seen smearing the singer’s head with the red liquid.

In an accompanying caption, Portable implied the act is an “Ifa ritual” while describing himself as a “money-making machine”.

“Ori ade. Olu isese BTC. Ifa olumope gbewa. We pray for money and grace. Dr Zeh, money-making machine,” he wrote.

Ifá is a traditional divination system practised in Africa, particularly among rural communities in Yoruba land.
