Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has launched a scathing public attack on his babymama, Ashabi, revealing deeper fractures in their already complex relationship, despite recently welcoming their second child together.
The drama unfolded in the comments section of Ashabi’s recent social media post, where she had shared a video describing herself in positive terms as “a blessed woman, a happy woman, a determined woman, a grateful woman, a peaceful woman.” This seemingly innocent self-affirmation triggered an unexpected response from Portable, who publicly criticized her in a manner that has left fans and followers stunned.
The singer’s caustic response accused Ashabi of using him for fame, stating bluntly, “You dey look for fame that’s why you born for star.” He further alleged that she was using “fake love” to compromise what he considers “real love,” adding a particularly harsh comment about her physical appearance and suggesting she “needs prayer.”
The bitter exchange marks a stark contrast to the atmosphere just a month ago when Ashabi had expressed deep affection for Portable, describing him as her “best man” and “a soul with which she was pleased.” Her previous declaration of unconditional love and commitment “against all odds” now stands in sharp relief against the current situation, highlighting the volatile nature of their relationship.
This latest conflict adds to a pattern of public disputes that have characterized their relationship since its inception. Their history includes several notable incidents of reconciliation and falling out, creating a cycle that has kept their relationship in the public eye. In June, tensions escalated when Portable accused Ashabi of attempting to manipulate his marriage by reaching out to his wife while secretly expecting his child.
Paradoxically, just days after that incident, Ashabi celebrated their second anniversary together, acknowledging their “imperfect love” and expressing gratitude for their relationship despite its challenges. This pattern of conflict and reconciliation has become a recurring theme in their relationship, with each new development drawing more public attention.
The relationship hit another rough patch in January when Ashabi’s candid interview about their love life provoked Portable’s ire, leading him to publicly remind her of her position as “just a side chick.” Despite this humiliation, the couple managed to reconcile briefly, with Portable elevating her status by declaring her his “wife and queen,” even sharing private chat screenshots as evidence of their harmony.
However, the peace was short-lived as new tensions emerged over perceived threats to Portable’s marriage with Bewaji. The current situation suggests that the underlying issues in their relationship remain unresolved, despite their shared parenthood of two children.
This ongoing saga reflects broader themes of celebrity relationships in the social media age, where private matters often become public spectacle. The dynamic between Portable and Ashabi has particularly captured public attention due to its volatile nature and the frank manner in which both parties express their feelings on social media.
The situation is further complicated by their co-parenting responsibilities and their recent welcoming of a second child together. This latest public dispute raises questions about the impact of such public conflicts on their family dynamics and their children’s well-being.
As this story continues to unfold, it highlights the complex intersection of fame, relationships, and social media in contemporary Nigerian entertainment culture. The public nature of their disputes, coupled with moments of reconciliation, has created a compelling narrative that continues to engage audiences while raising important questions about privacy, relationship dynamics, and the impact of public scrutiny on personal relationships.
For now, followers of both personalities watch with interest to see whether this latest conflict will follow the established pattern of reconciliation or mark a more permanent shift in their relationship dynamics. The situation serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining private relationships under the constant glare of public attention.
