Ashabi Simple, the ex-wife of Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has shared a new video on her Instagram page. The video comes shortly after Portable's defeat in a boxing match against social media personality Carter Efe.
Ashabi Promotes New Movie Amid Boxing Fallout
In the clip, Ashabi Simple is seen dancing to promote her latest movie, titled Beyond Physical, which is currently streaming on YouTube. She dances alone before a male colleague joins her, and they both dance together in a playful manner. The actress appears excited as she encourages her fans to watch the film.
In the caption accompanying the video, Ashabi noted that her movie has gained organic views, highlighting the number of likes and positive reviews it has received. She expressed gratitude for the support from her fans, stating that she does not take it for granted.
Background Music Sparks Reactions
The background music used in the video is a Yoruba song with lyrics about the struggles of love. The singer in the track speaks about how love can be overwhelming, making references to a relationship situation similar to that of popular online personalities Jarvis and Peller. It is worth recalling that Jarvis and Peller were once in a relationship before a public fallout led to their breakup; they later reunited during Jarvis's birthday celebration.
Fans quickly reacted to Ashabi's video. While some praised her movie and encouraged others to watch it, others linked the song choice to Portable's current situation. Many commented on the timing of the post, given Portable's recent boxing loss and their previous public dispute.
Portable and Ashabi's Public Dispute
It will be recalled that Portable and Ashabi had a public dispute a few months ago, which reportedly led to police involvement. The singer was arrested, charged in court, and fined over allegations involving his sibling's partner. The incident sparked mixed reactions from fans, with many taking sides during the controversy.
More recently, Portable leaked a private WhatsApp chat involving Ashabi and an Islamic cleric amid their ongoing feud. In the chat, Ashabi confessed her love for a man named Kenny Hussein, who is not the father of her children, and expressed frustration that her feelings were not returned. Portable shared the chat online with the caption, 'This life just be real loyalty pass juju,' following Ashabi's earlier claim that he was a 'one-minute man.'
Fan Reactions to the Video
Reacting to Ashabi's latest video, fans made various comments. Some taunted her, while others praised her. One user, megyshawon, wrote: 'Make I rush go watch am to add up my numbers.'
