“I’m Tired of Being Strong” – Portable’s Baby Mama, Ashabi, Tearfully Cries Out for Help
In a heartfelt moment that has touched the hearts of many Nigerians, Ashabi Simple, Nollywood actress and baby mama of controversial street-hop star Portable, has taken to social media to pour out her pain and seek divine intervention. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The actress, visibly overwhelmed by life’s pressures, made an emotional appeal for genuine support—both spiritually and socially—admitting that she feels drained by the constant need to appear strong.
“God, please connect me with people who matter to my growth. I’m tired of always being strong. God, I need you in all ramifications. Crown my efforts, don’t let me be a failure,” she wrote on her official social media page.
💬 Portable Reacts, But Fans Want More
While her post drew sympathy from fans, Portable’s own reaction stirred mixed feelings. He commented under the post with a brief message of encouragement:
“Grace go follow you forever 🙏.”
“Make una dey drop better co,” he added later.
However, some fans were quick to challenge Portable’s gesture, calling it performative rather than supportive. One particularly vocal fan wrote:
“Eze ure!! Help do content or advertise her movies on your platforms’ reels instead of disgracing her upfront, right and left… Do better by posting her movies.”
🎭 Ashabi’s Career and Struggles
Despite her relationship with Portable bringing her into the public eye, Ashabi Simple has long been carving out a space in Nollywood with roles in Yoruba-language films and emerging digital projects. However, her recent posts hint at emotional burnout and professional stagnation—a reality many aspiring actors face in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Her vulnerability has struck a chord with women and creatives online who say they relate to the silent struggle behind public smiles.
🔍 Why This Moment Matters
This isn’t just gossip—it’s a mirror of how Nigerian women, especially those in the entertainment space, navigate relationships, single parenting, and ambition under public scrutiny.
Ashabi’s cry is not just personal—it’s social, shedding light on the emotional toll of chasing relevance, respect, and resources in a space where support often feels transactional or performative.
🗣️ What’s Next?
Will Portable step up with real support for Ashabi’s acting career?
Will Nollywood rally around one of its own in need?
