Ashabi Simple, a Nollywood actress and baby mama to controversial Nigerian singer Portable, has taken to social media with a heartfelt and emotional plea, sharing her struggles and appealing for both divine and human support to overcome her current challenges.
In a touching and vulnerable message posted on her official page, Ashabi openly confessed that she is mentally and emotionally exhausted. She expressed a deep longing for genuine support from people who can make a meaningful difference in her life and career. Her words reflected both pain and hope, as she turned to God in search of strength and a breakthrough.
“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, capturing the emotional toll of her journey as a woman in the entertainment industry trying to thrive and be seen.
The emotional post quickly resonated with fans and followers, drawing messages of encouragement and empathy. Her partner, Portable, also responded with support, commenting: “Grace go follow you forever 🙏,” in a bid to uplift her spirits during this trying time.
In a subsequent message, Portable added: “Make una dey drop better co,” a slang-filled encouragement aimed at her supporters.
However, not everyone was impressed by the singer’s response. Some fans felt his show of support was insufficient and urged him to back it up with more practical actions. One notable fan comment read: “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.”
The public reaction highlights the growing awareness around the emotional and professional needs of public figures, particularly women in male-dominated spaces, who often go unheard despite being in the spotlight.
