The emotional message surfaced amid Portable’s ongoing legal challenges linked to allegations made by actress and content creator Ashabi Simple, who has a child with the singer.
Reports indicate that the matter escalated after a disagreement over her status in his life, with Ashabi allegedly insisting on being recognised as a wife rather than a baby mama.
According to available accounts, Portable reportedly maintained that only his legally married partner, Bewaji, holds that position, a stance that allegedly led to a heated confrontation. Ashabi later accused the singer of physical assault, claiming she was beaten, had her phones seized, and was threatened alongside her siblings.
The allegations prompted the Ogun State Police Command to intervene, leading to Portable’s arrest and detention.
While in custody, the situation became more complicated after a video circulated online showing the singer allegedly being mistreated by some officers.
Reacting to the viral footage, the Ogun State Police Command confirmed that an internal probe had been launched to investigate the conduct of the officers involved, assuring the public that appropriate disciplinary measures would be taken if any wrongdoing is established.
