Portable’s Partner Ashabi Claps Back at Critics: “You Can’t Force Love”
In a bold response to her critics, Yoruba actress Ashabi, known for her relationship with controversial Nigerian singer Portable, has addressed those questioning her love life. Taking to Instagram, the actress confronted those who’ve been criticizing her relationship with the “Zazuu” crooner.
“Any small thing, you Dey force love ni yenyenyen,” Ashabi wrote, challenging her detractors with a rhetorical question: “Can u keep a man that doesn’t want to be kept?” She expressed gratitude for her relationship, adding, “Thank GOD for the blessing of my man, I’m grateful.”
The post quickly garnered support from fans, with Instagram user arikesilva encouraging her to “Give dem bucket, wishing dem more tears,” while pretty_funmite defended her position as a wife rather than just a baby mama. Other supporters like imole05324 and Olodumareimisi showed solidarity with encouraging comments.
Their relationship journey has been anything but conventional. Last month, Ashabi shared profound insights about relationships, emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and accepting that “no one is yours to keep.” In a touching display of devotion, she even penned a prayer asking God to protect their bond from untimely death.
The couple’s relationship has captured public attention over the past two years, weathering storms since going public amid Portable’s existing marriage. Despite the controversy, Ashabi hasn’t shied away from expressing her feelings, though she’s admitted feeling hesitant about public declarations for fear of criticism.
Their love story has played out across social media, from intimate flight videos to heartfelt declarations. In July, Ashabi shared a romantic throwback video, candidly admitting to sleepless nights thinking about Portable. Through all the ups and downs, one thing remains clear: Ashabi’s devotion to Portable appears unwavering, despite the public scrutiny their relationship continues to face.
While social media critics may have their say, Ashabi’s latest post shows she’s standing firm in her choices and love for the controversial singer, proving that sometimes, the heart wants what it wants – critics be damned.
