This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Introducing a causal clause with "por eso/aquello de..." (causal subordinate clause)"

Hola R
the conjunction "porque" can't be followed by "de" -it is followed by a whole clause, for example:
Porque tuvimos una discusión el otro día, Martín no me dirige la palabra.
"Porque de" would be the literal translation of "because of", but in Spanish that doesn't work literally. To express "because of the discussion the other day" you can say:
Por la discusión del otro día...
Debido a la discusión del otro día...
Have a look at these lessons:
Using por for Due to / because of / for
Using Por culpa de / gracias a
