₦500m Isn’t Enough? Why Did Mr. P Ask for ₦5bn to Fight Rudeboy
Mr. P reportedly raises the stakes after Soso Soberekon offers ₦500 million for a boxing match with Rudeboy.

Mr. P reportedly wants ₦5 billion before stepping into the ring with Rudeboy.
The P-Square saga has taken another unexpected turn, and this time, the proposed solution is not another meeting or reconciliation talk. It is a boxing ring.
Mr. P, whose real name is Peter Okoye, reportedly received a ₦500 million offer from entertainment executive Soso Soberekon to fight his twin brother, Rudeboy, formerly known as Paul Okoye. However, Peter did not exactly jump at the opportunity.
Instead, he reportedly raised the stakes to ₦5 billion.
Now, that is one way to negotiate.
Mr. P Wants ₦5 Billion Before He Enters the Ring
According to the details surrounding the exchange, Soso Soberekon offered Mr. P ₦500 million to face Rudeboy in a boxing match.
Rather than accepting the proposal, Peter reportedly told Soberekon to increase the amount significantly if the organizers were genuinely serious about making the fight happen.
The figure he mentioned? A whopping ₦5 billion.
For fans who have followed the complicated history of P-Square, the idea of seeing the brothers settle their differences with boxing gloves sounds almost too dramatic to be real.
And honestly, it is difficult not to imagine the reactions this would generate.
From P-Square Brothers to Boxing Opponents?
For years, Peter and Paul Okoye dominated the African music scene as P-Square. Their energetic performances, hit records and impressive stage chemistry made them one of Nigeria’s biggest musical duos.
However, their relationship later became strained, leading to the group’s breakup and a new chapter in both brothers’ careers.

The P-Square brothers are at the centre of fresh boxing-match buzz.
Peter continued as Mr. P, while Paul adopted the name Rudeboy. Since then, their individual careers have continued, even as questions about their relationship regularly return to the spotlight.
Consequently, the proposed boxing match has quickly become another talking point surrounding the brothers.
Still, fans should probably hold their excitement for now.
Will Mr. P and Rudeboy Actually Fight?
At this point, there is no confirmed announcement that the boxing match will take place. The reported exchange appears to have added more entertainment to an already complicated family story.
Moreover, Mr. P’s reported ₦5 billion demand could simply have been his way of making it clear that he was not taking the proposal seriously.
After all, ₦500 million is already a huge figure. Asking for ₦5 billion takes the conversation to another planet entirely.
For now, P-Square boxing showdown remains a fun possibility rather than a confirmed event. Unless someone actually produces the gloves, venue and fight date, fans may have to enjoy this one as gist.
