Nollywood actress and baby mama to controversial music star Portable, Omobolarinde Akinyanju, popularly known as Ashabi, is currently the talk of the town following her dramatic entrance at the premiere of her new movie, The Deputy.
Held on Sunday, the star-studded premiere was attended by friends, fans, and supporters. A viral clip from the event shows Ashabi making a grand entrance, flanked by female bouncers. Channeling a “billionaire energy,” she walked into the venue majestically, holding a walking stick, while cheers filled the air.
However, the video has stirred mixed reactions online, especially given that her husband is currently being held in police custody.
Portable’s Legal Woes
As reported by Kemi Filani, Portable was arrested by the Kwara State Police Command over alleged criminal defamation against Fuji icon, Saheed Osupa. The charges include threat to life, incitement, character assassination, criminal defamation, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, along with the use of abusive and insulting language.
He was remanded in a correctional facility after failing to meet his bail conditions: ₦1 million and two sureties—one of whom must be the Chairman of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN). The case has been adjourned until April 30, 2025.
Online Reactions
The contrast between Ashabi’s glamorous appearance and Portable’s legal troubles did not go unnoticed. Here are some of the reactions from netizens:
- One Temi wrote, “Birds of the same feathers”
- One Sarah Fisayo Mufc wrote, “Movie premiere abi club meeting”
- One Honest Guy wrote, “Husband dey police station, wife dey do movie premiere”
- One Lowkey Damilare wrote, “And Portable dey where he dey face judgment”
- One Fistlove wrote, “See movie premiere wey be like children birthday”
- One Baba Oba wrote, “Wey her husband dey prison”
- One Wendy wrote, “Wetin be this?”
- One Nma wrote, “God abeg, wetin be this?”
- One Tope Shonubi Cole wrote, “Ni kini. They fit each other die. Wife dey denge dey pose, husband dey denge for cell”
- One Big Shabz wrote, “Make Portable no see this one when he’s out o”
- One Jaynett wrote, “Portable and his wife fit each other”
A Complicated Relationship
The timing of Ashabi’s public appearance is especially notable given her emotional reaction during Portable’s previous arrest in February, when he was wanted by the Ogun State government for conspiracy, serious assault, armed breach of public peace, and attempted murder. At the time, Ashabi cried out on social media, saying:
“I am having sleepless night and headache” – Portable’s babymama, Ashabi, reveals as she cries out to God for intervention, hours after Portable was declared wanted.
Despite their turbulent relationship over the past two years, Ashabi and Portable have continuously reconciled and supported each other, even amid controversy. On Portable’s birthday, both Ashabi and his wife Bewaji posted heartfelt tributes, calling him their “favourite person” and praying for him.
Ashabi went the extra mile by organizing a special birthday treat, showcasing a video of a beautifully set table with an array of dishes for the street pop star. Portable appreciated her, referring to her as “his woman” and showering her with prayers.
Nevertheless, their relationship hasn’t been without drama. Just last month, Portable accused Ashabi of constantly competing with his wife and stirring up problems. He also criticized her for not dropping her father’s surname, despite him allegedly being the one feeding her year-round.
With The Deputy premiere marking a major milestone in Ashabi’s career, it remains to be seen how the ongoing legal troubles will affect the couple’s already complicated dynamic.
