Portable, the controversial Nigerian singer whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, dodged police arrest following allegations of assaulting his fourth baby mama, actress Ashabi Simple, during a heated New Year's argument at his Ogun State bar.
The confrontation erupted on January 1, 2026, when Ashabi visited Portable's bar after he summoned her amid a bad mood. A dispute over her status escalated: Ashabi demanded recognition as his wife, not just a baby mama, prompting Portable to shove her and declare he has only one wife, Bewaji, with others labeled baby mamas. Ashabi allegedly responded, "Then you will have to kill me, baby," before Portable reportedly slapped her, beat her, seized phones, and threatened her siblings with an axe, per her Instagram video.
Ashabi and her siblings reported the assault to police, who arrived at Portable's home but found only his pregnant wife, Bewaji, as the singer had fled. Viral videos captured Ashabi clutching his clothes in distress, fueling the online frenzy. No arrest has occurred yet, with Portable's whereabouts unknown as of January 4, 2026.
Nigerians flooded platforms with mixed reactions, mocking the drama while criticizing both parties.

Fans debate if Ashabi's demands stem from a cryptic post shading Bewaji, amplifying the polygamous family tensions.
