Nigerian music executive and socialite Soso Soberekon has reacted after Carter Efe cried out over his unpaid prize money from the celebrity boxing match against Portable. The fight, which captured attention across social media, ended with Carter Efe declared the winner and promised a ₦50 million prize.
Immediately after the bout last weekend, the prize was announced by billionaire businessman E-Money. He confirmed that Carter Efe would receive the money as promised, stating that he puts his money where his mouth is. However, a few days later, Carter Efe, during a livestream, complained that the organisers had not released the funds. He explained that he risked his life in the ring and deserved to be paid without delay. He said the money should be given to him quickly so he could enjoy himself, emphasising that he almost lost his life fighting for the prize.
Soso Soberekon's Response
Reacting to the matter on Wednesday morning, Soso Soberekon addressed Carter Efe directly through his Instagram story, making it clear that fresh money was available for collection. The socialite tagged the skitmaker directly and told him to come for his money today, May 5, 2026. He wrote: "@carterefe, Today, Come Collect Fresh 50 Million."

One user commented: "Pls I wnt to know what's this guy's does that he is dashing these guys money anyhow. Na so the money east to find." Another wrote: "Acting/sounding like he is doing him a favor when you are just paying him what he deserves. It's the price money." Some criticised the drama, saying: "Na foolish clout be this Jor so if you give Carter 50m mean say portable no go see person give am too una Dey craze together." Others felt Portable deserved the bullying: "Dem just won make life tire portable but he deserve all the bully he his getting now..he talks too much." A user also asked: "So dem pay loser first ?. Portable get sense, I pity una."
Portable Releases Diss Track
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Portable released a diss track days after losing to Carter Efe at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event in Lagos. In the song, he spoke about using his street experience and claimed the entertainment industry worked against him. Portable also alleged that the fight was unfair and claimed it was stopped early because organisers could not afford to pay large betting winnings, insisting he was still fit to continue and that pouring water on him would have allowed him to go on.
