Social media went ablaze once again after Ashabi, one of singer Portable’s babymamas, broke her silence following the public drama that erupted when the controversial artist shared a clip of their heated argument online. In a lengthy and emotional outburst on her Instagram story, Ashabi made it clear that she was tired of unsolicited advice from fans and critics concerning her relationship with the Zazu crooner. “No advise me, I’m not blind or deaf,” she declared, addressing the growing chorus of online voices telling her to leave the relationship.
The drama began when Portable, known for his volatile temper and unfiltered social media presence, posted a video showing a disagreement between himself and Ashabi. The clip quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans who accused the singer of publicly embarrassing his partner and urged her to walk away. But rather than play the victim, Ashabi decided to speak for herself — and her response left no room for pity or judgment.
In her words, “Omoh I don laff tire today. Can we just act like nothing happened? Asin no be today naw, stop making a big deal out of dis naw.” The actress and mother seemed to be downplaying the incident, suggesting that arguments are a normal part of their relationship and not a sign of crisis as many speculated. “Not sure I have ever come to this media to talk about my relationship except love. Please let’s keep it all love here,” she continued, clearly frustrated by the way outsiders were dissecting her private life.
Ashabi went further to address those flooding her comments and DMs with unsolicited advice, saying, “If you have opinion concerning my relationship life, tell GOD to minister it to me through dream or drop it on the person dat requested for it page.” Her statement, though laced with humor, carried a message of self-assurance — she was not seeking validation or pity from anyone.
In the online world where every celebrity relationship becomes public property, Ashabi’s post was both defiant and revealing. She admitted, “Na love wan make me be like a failure I know I’m not. Time will tell, let me just be. Abeg no advise me, I’m not blind or deaf.” The message resonated with fans who understood the pressures of being romantically involved with a celebrity like Portable — a man whose name constantly trends for one controversy or another.
The singer, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, has a long history of online drama involving women, colleagues, and even close friends. His social media antics — often raw, loud, and unfiltered — have made him both a darling of controversy and a consistent topic of conversation in Nigerian entertainment circles. For many, the argument with Ashabi was just another episode in the unpredictable saga that is Portable’s life. But for Ashabi, this time it was personal.
The actress, who has carved a niche for herself in Yoruba movies, has often been praised for her calm demeanor compared to Portable’s fiery personality. Their relationship, which has produced a child, has faced public scrutiny from the start. Many fans have called her “too calm” for him, while others commend her for managing to handle his impulsive nature. But in her latest outburst, Ashabi made it clear she’s neither naïve nor helpless — she’s fully aware of what she’s signed up for.
Social media reactions have been mixed. While some fans applauded her confidence and independence, others accused her of normalizing toxicity. “She’s just making excuses for him. Love shouldn’t hurt,” one user commented. Another said, “She knows what she’s doing. Maybe she truly loves him and can handle it.” Some fans even joked that she sounded just like Portable himself — raw, honest, and unfiltered.
Observers say Ashabi’s post is reflective of a growing trend among celebrity partners who are learning to speak directly to the public rather than through interviews or PR statements. In an age where everyone has an opinion about everything, especially on social media, celebrities like Ashabi are choosing to reclaim their narratives.
Still, many couldn’t help but question why Portable would post their private fight online in the first place. The artist, known for using his social media like a diary, often shares everything — from moments of success to personal breakdowns. For some, it’s authenticity; for others, it’s irresponsibility. But one thing remains consistent — Portable knows how to keep the spotlight on himself, and this time, Ashabi was caught in the crossfire.
Her post, however, suggests she has accepted the reality of being in his world. “Time will tell,” she said, hinting that she’s willing to wait out the noise and let her choices speak for themselves. Whether that patience leads to peace or more drama is something fans can only watch unfold.
As the conversation continues to trend, one thing is certain: Ashabi has made it clear she doesn’t want pity or advice. Her tone wasn’t that of a broken woman, but of someone drawing a firm line between her reality and the opinions of the public. In a world where everyone is quick to judge, she reminded her followers that only those involved truly know what goes on behind closed doors.
For now, the actress appears focused on her work and her child, ignoring the swirl of gossip around her. Portable, on his part, has remained silent about the incident since posting the video, though that silence might not last long — given his reputation for impulsive outbursts. Whether this latest chapter will blow over or spark another public showdown remains to be seen.
But Ashabi’s statement has already cemented itself as one of the most memorable celebrity clapbacks of the year. Her mix of humor, frustration, and boldness struck a chord with many who are tired of the internet’s tendency to moralize other people’s relationships. “No advise me, I’m not blind or deaf” wasn’t just a defensive remark — it was a declaration of autonomy.
In an era where social media users act as judge and jury in matters of the heart, Ashabi’s message was a rare reminder that not everyone wants saving. Sometimes, people choose love with their eyes open, accepting both its beauty and its chaos. And for Ashabi, it seems she’s ready to live with the consequences — on her own terms, without the internet’s counsel.
As fans wait to see the next twist in the ongoing Portable-Ashabi saga, one thing is sure — love, drama, and defiance continue to define Nigeria’s most unpredictable celebrity couple. And if her words are anything to go by, Ashabi isn’t backing down anytime soon.
