Nigerian street-hop sensation, Portable, has finally regained his freedom after a highly publicized legal tussle with the police, stemming from a feud with his baby mama, Ashabi Simple. The singer, known for his hit 'Zazu', was released and celebrated by his community, who bestowed a new name upon him and witnessed a transformation in his appearance.
From Police Station to Homecoming: Portable's Ordeal
The saga began with a public altercation between Portable and Ashabi Simple, which escalated to the point of police involvement. Ashabi reportedly filed a complaint against the singer, leading to his arrest and subsequent charging in court. A poignant video that surfaced online showed Portable in a distressed state, crying while being addressed by officers at the police station, highlighting the gravity of the situation for the controversial artist.
However, the narrative took a turn upon his release. A separate clip, which quickly went viral, captured his emotional homecoming. People from his neighbourhood warmly welcomed him back. In a significant moment, he referred to one individual as his 'boss' as they ceremoniously gave him a new name: 'Innocence'. The community's stance was clear; they believed the singer had been falsely accused, which led to his time in custody.
A New Chapter: Fresh Look and Instant Performance
Not wasting any time, Portable immediately jumped back into the public eye. He was spotted at an event where he was seen vibing to music. The singer's passion quickly took over, and he seized the microphone from the performing artiste to deliver an impromptu performance, much to the delight and cheers of the assembled crowd.
Adding to the symbolism of a fresh start, Portable debuted a completely new look. The singer, known for his distinctive hairstyles, had cut his hair, presenting a throwback vibe that surprised and intrigued his fans. This physical change, coupled with his new name, signaled a potential rebranding or personal evolution following the stressful episode.
Fan Reactions and Lingering Controversy
Fans of the 'Zazu' crooner expressed overwhelming joy at his return to freedom. Social media platforms buzzed with comments welcoming him back and speculating about his next moves. Many predicted that the experience would fuel his music, expecting a new diss track aimed at Ashabi Simple detailing his side of the story and his time in police custody.
The incident has also kept the spotlight on his tumultuous relationship with Ashabi Simple. Following the arrest, Ashabi faced significant backlash for involving the police. She later released a video to explain her actions, alleging that Portable had assaulted her sibling and confiscated her phone, forcing her to flee for her own safety.
This is not the first time Portable's personal relationships have sparked controversy. Another baby mama, Honey Berry, has previously come forward with serious accusations, claiming the singer beat her while she was pregnant and also assaulted his first wife for taking Honey Berry's side. She added that she was unaware of his marital status when she became involved with him.
As Portable, now also called 'Innocence', navigates this latest chapter, the court of public opinion remains divided. While his core fans celebrate his freedom and new aesthetic, the serious allegations from the mothers of his children continue to cast a long shadow over his personal life, promising that the drama surrounding the artist is far from over.
