A video of the altercation quickly went viral online. In the clip, Ashabi was seen holding Portable’s clothes, insisting that he recognise her as his wife rather than calling her a baby mama.
“Oya pami baby, I’m also your wife, you’ve to stop calling me your baby mama,” she said.
Portable reportedly pushed her and stated that he only acknowledges his wife, Bewaji, while the rest of the women who have children with him are baby mamas.
“I only have one wife; the rest of you are just baby mamas,” he said.
The confrontation escalated when Ashabi emotionally responded, “Then you will have to kill me, baby.”
Following the incident, Ashabi and her siblings reportedly filed a report with the police for assault and abuse.
In a video posted on Instagram, Ashabi said that while the police visited Portable’s pregnant wife, Bewaji, Portable himself had already escaped arrest.
“I celebrated the new year in a happy mood with my family. You called me in a bad mood, and I told you I went to my dad’s house for the new year. You asked me to bring new year food for you, and I said okay. When I got to your bar, we had a minor disagreement. You slapped me, beat me up, seized our phones, and threatened my siblings and I with an axe,” Ashabi alleged.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions online.
Some Nigerians criticised Ashabi for forcing herself on the singer, while others commented on her reported low self-esteem.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether Portable will be pursued or charged.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Portable again stirred social media after he openly called out his fourth baby mama, Ashabi Simple, for allegedly disrespecting his wife, Bewaji.
The drama unfolded shortly after Ashabi shared a cryptic post on social media, which many fans interpreted as a subtle dig at Bewaji.
The post quickly gained traction online with netizens accusing Ashabi of throwing shade.
Reacting to the situation, Portable wasted no time in addressing the perceived disrespect.
In a strongly worded voice message, the Zazu crooner lambasted Ashabi, warning her sternly to stay in her lane and respect his wife.
Translating his words, the singer said: “Don’t ever disrespect my wife, Bewaji. She is always minding her business. She was the only woman who stood by me when I had nothing. She is always satisfied with anything I give her, unlike you, who doesn’t appreciate me. Are you mad? Do you want Ogun to kill you?”
Expressing his loyalty to Bewaji, Portable emphasised that her support from day one earned her a special place in his life. He further reminded Ashabi that without Bewaji’s approval, their relationship would not have worked.
"I am a married man. If you want me to marry you too, you must fight for it. If my name is removed from your life, who will you be? You need to behave and appreciate Bewaji. If she didn’t approve you, you would not be with me today because her happiness is my happiness. You got pregnant and I accepted you. What else do you want? Stay in your lane.”
