Portable Seeks Solace in Church After Clash with Babymama, Ashabi Simple
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again sparked reactions online after a video surfaced showing him lying on the floor of a Celestial Church.
In the viral clip, Portable was seen sprawled across the church floor, resting on an open Bible near the altar — a gesture that has left fans divided between concern and disbelief.
This unusual scene comes just days after the “Zazoo Zeh” crooner publicly clashed with his baby mama, actress Ashabi Simple, whom he accused of cheating. Portable had shared screenshots of what he claimed were chats between Ashabi and a cleric, allegedly showing her confessing affection for the man.
While the authenticity of those messages remains unclear, the drama has continued to dominate social media, with many Nigerians questioning whether Portable’s recent actions were born of heartbreak, publicity, or repentance.
💭 Opinion: Portable’s Public Meltdowns and the Thin Line Between Chaos and Cry for Help
Portable’s life seems to oscillate between controversy and confession, a blend of chaos that keeps him in the headlines but raises questions about his mental and emotional well-being.
The image of a man — once shouting “Zazoo” on stage — now lying solemnly before an altar paints a picture far beyond entertainment. It’s the portrait of someone perhaps searching for peace in a noisy world.
But the problem is, Portable’s world thrives on spectacle. Every emotion — whether anger, love, or repentance — becomes content for public consumption. His tendency to broadcast every private issue has blurred the line between authentic pain and performance.
If this moment at the church was genuine, then maybe it’s a glimpse of vulnerability — an artist seeking divine help amid personal storms. But if it’s another publicity stunt, then it’s proof that Portable remains trapped in his self-made cycle of drama and attention.
Either way, one thing is clear: Portable needs peace more than popularity right now — and perhaps, some quiet healing away from the cameras.
