In what’s shaping up to be the most outrageous celebrity face-off in Nigerian entertainment history, heavyweight music executive Soso Soberekon has put ₦120 million on the line for a no-holds-barred boxing match between street-hop king Portable and controversial social media firebrand VeryDarkMan (VDM).
“₦120 million is on ground. Winner takes ₦100 million. Loser gets ₦20 million. Let them stop the noise and fight like men,” Soberekon declared in a viral video that has since broken the Nigerian internet.
The challenge is loud, clear, and brutal step into the ring or shut up forever.
For months, Portable and VeryDarkMan have traded insults, accusations, and ego punches across social media, dragging their fans into a bitter feud that shows no sign of slowing down. But now, Soso Soberekon has dropped a bombshell solution: settle it with fists, not posts.
And he’s taking it all the way to Warri, the street-certified capital of grit and glory.
“Let’s take it to Warri. Let’s do it proper. Let the world see who’s the real man,” Soso added, daring both men to accept what fans are already calling “The Grudge Match of the Year.”
The stakes? Not just ₦100 million for the winner and ₦20 million for the loser but also bragging rights, ego, and legacy.
In the words of a fan online:
“Whoever walks away from that ring is a legend. Whoever walks out on this challenge is a clown.”
Already, the internet is split. Some say Portable, known for his erratic, unpredictable style, will bring “street madness” to the ring. Others believe VDM, with his militant online energy and stubborn pride, won’t back down from a real fight.
“I dey always ready. Wahala no dey tire me,” Portable wrote cryptically on Instagram.
VDM is yet to publicly respond — but insiders say he’s “not ruling it out.”
While some are calling this a media circus, others see it as genius: a chance to monetize madness, turn trolling into tickets, and possibly launch Nigeria’s first true influencer boxing spectacle.
“This is the future of entertainment,” said one industry analyst. “Turn beef into business.”
The only question now is: Will they show up? Or chicken out under the spotlight?
Whatever happens, one thing is certain and if this match holds, Warri will burn.
