Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has regained his freedom after spending a week in prison, following his release on Monday, January 19, 2026, after meeting his bail conditions. The street-pop star’s exit instantly reignited conversations online, as fans and critics alike questioned what really went down behind the scenes.
In a now-viral video circulating across social media, Portable broke his silence, insisting on his innocence. “They lied against me. I’m innocent,” he declared, visibly emotional as he addressed the allegations that led to his remand. The singer had been accused of assault and theft by his baby mama, Ashabi Simple, alongside her siblings — claims that shook his already turbulent public image.
The controversy reportedly began on New Year’s Eve after a disturbing video surfaced online showing a heated confrontation between the pair, with Ashabi clutching his clothes and repeatedly saying, “Pami baby” (“Baby, you have to kill me”). With emotions high and public opinion divided, many are now asking — is this the end of the saga, or just the beginning of another explosive chapter in Portable’s life?
