Soso Soberekon Offers Peter Okoye N500m to Fight Twin Brother Paul in Boxing Match
Nigerian music executive, Soso Soberekon, has offered N500 million to singer Peter Okoye (Mr P) to fight his twin brother, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), in a celebrity boxing match, adding a dramatic new twist to the ongoing P-Square feud. The offer was made on Sunday night during Peter’s stage performance. A viral video circulating on social media showed Soberekon in the audience holding up his phone towards the singer, displaying the message: “500 Million Naira to fight your twin in a boxing match.” Peter was seen smiling at the offer before continuing with his performance. The music executive’s proposal comes amid a renewed and intense public dispute between the Okoye twins, who were the famed duo behind the defunct group P-Square.
The dramatic proposal comes amid a renewed and intense public dispute between the Okoye twins, who were the famed duo behind the defunct group P-Square. The feud has largely centred on financial disagreements, with Peter recently accusing Paul and their elder brother, Jude Okoye, of diverting music royalties and other financial improprieties. The brothers’ relationship has been marked by multiple public fallouts over the years. P-Square split in 2017 following disagreements over the role of their elder brother Jude as manager, before reuniting in 2021. However, another fallout emerged in 2024, and the dispute has since escalated, with Peter releasing a series of video exposés detailing his version of events. In the series, Mr P has made several allegations concerning the group’s finances and management, his relationship with his brothers, and the treatment of his wife, Lola Omotayo-Okoye, and their son. He claimed that over $1.2 million in music royalties were diverted through Northside Music Limited without his consent. Jude Okoye has denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that all royalty payments were properly documented and distributed according to existing agreements.

The boxing proposal has generated strong reactions across social media platforms, with many Nigerians questioning the idea of paying the brothers to fight each other. @NsibidiHrt criticised the proposal, describing it as “utterly disgusting” and an example of what it means to be “power-drunk, when money becomes the master, and one becomes subservient to it.” @carefully__ described the offer as disrespectful, calling the music executive a “mumu low budget millionaire” who chases “nonsense clout.” @BekeeOzzy also opposed the idea, saying: “You people have sworn to wreck this family completely.” Others reacted with humour. @omo_babaOndo joked: “Imagine fighting your own twin for ₦500m,” while @The_Ghosted suggested: “He knows too many jobless people will watch.” @emycee4 joked about the possible outcome, writing: “Peter go too wound Paul eh. Abeg o.”
It remains unclear whether Peter Okoye will accept Soberekon’s N500 million offer or if Paul Okoye has any interest in stepping into the boxing ring to settle their differences. Henry Okoye, the eldest brother, has expressed doubts about a reconciliation between the twins, stating: “I will be happy for them to come back together, but I don’t think it will happen.” The dispute continues to generate significant public interest as one of Africa’s most famous music families remains entangled in a long-running feud. With legal proceedings still ongoing and fresh revelations continuing to emerge, the P-Square saga shows little sign of ending anytime soon.
