A prominent Nigerian cleric, Sheikh Hamad Labeeb, has ignited widespread reactions on social media following his controversial sermon in Ilorin, where he discussed the alleged cult affiliations of popular singers Davido and Portable.
During his lecture, Sheikh Labeeb aimed to mediate peace among young cultists who are frequently in conflict. He urged them to cease their hostilities and instead collaborate for mutual benefit.

“Rather than fighting, they should look for ways to enrich themselves and eat from each other’s tables,” Labeeb advised.
In a surprising twist, Sheikh Labeeb used Davido and Portable as examples to illustrate his point.
He claimed that both artists are members of rival cults but have managed to work together harmoniously. According to Labeeb, Davido is affiliated with the Aye cult, while Portable is associated with the Eiye confraternity.
This revelation has set off a firestorm of reactions online, with many criticizing the cleric for making such allegations publicly.
The cleric’s statements have been met with a mix of shock and criticism on social media.
Many users expressed their disapproval of Labeeb’s decision to discuss the alleged cult affiliations of the artists so openly, arguing that it could incite further unrest.
Sheikh Labeeb’s sermon has certainly stirred the pot, bringing the issue of cultism among Nigerian celebrities to the forefront of public discussion.
