Controversial street-pop artist Portable has reignited tensions with his former partner, actress Ashabi Simple, through a series of heated exchanges on social media. This public spat comes just weeks after the couple welcomed their second child, highlighting the personal conflicts overshadowing their family life.
The drama began when Ashabi Simple shared a video on Instagram, where she described herself as “a blessed, happy, determined, peaceful, and grateful woman.” Her self-affirmation prompted a sharp response from Portable, who quickly took to the comments section to voice his dissatisfaction. “You dey look for fame that is why you born for star,” he remarked, accusing her of using their relationship for personal gain.
Portable’s comments didn’t stop there; he continued to assert that Ashabi’s expression of love was “fake” and detrimental to his image. He added, “No dey use your own fake love dey spoil real love for me,” revealing the deep-seated frustration he feels about their public portrayal as a couple.
Further intensifying the situation, Portable claimed that Ashabi’s friends were attempting to sabotage their relationship. He expressed his belief that they were gossiping about him, which he feels was damaging to their bond. He stated, “Your leg no good oo, you need prayer,” indicating that he believes Ashabi’s emotional well-being is in question.
Reports indicate that the couple unfollowed each other on social media back in January 2024, following Ashabi’s appearance on the podcast “Talk to B.” This move signaled the growing rift between them, as their relationship appeared to be on shaky ground well before the latest drama.
In addition to his critiques, Portable accused Ashabi of exploiting their private life for her film projects. He claimed, “She uses our intimate moments as inspiration for her films,” implying that their personal experiences are being transformed into public narratives for entertainment.
The Zazoo artist’s frustrations are not just limited to Ashabi’s actions but extend to her lack of respect towards him. He expressed disappointment over the disconnect between her public declarations of love and her private actions. “Despite her claims, there’s no real respect,” he stated, showcasing the dichotomy between public persona and private reality.
As the saga continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how both Portable and Ashabi will navigate their complex relationship dynamics, especially in the wake of such public disputes.
