Okoye shared this update on X, expressing his gratitude to fans for the overwhelming response.

"Guys, we honestly didn’t see this coming. Almost 3,000 Red ZR CAPS sold in the last seven days and more orders still pumping in every second," Mr P posted.

The increased demand for the cap coincides with heightened public interest in Mr P's tell-all series, which commenced on July 30. In the series, he revisits the events surrounding the repeated breakups of P-Square and the family's long-standing financial disputes. The series has sparked widespread reactions and divided fan opinions regarding the renewed dispute involving Peter Okoye, his twin brother Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), and their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.

Looking ahead, Mr P hinted at plans to expand Zipp Republic's offerings beyond headwear. The brand intends to introduce gym wear, sportswear, and children's clothing to its product range. Meanwhile, Mr P recently achieved a milestone in his solo music career, with his song "I Can't Look Away" debuting at number 151 on the Spotify Nigeria Daily Top Songs chart on August 8, marking the first solo chart appearance by either P-Square member since the duo's split.

We are overwhelmed with orders right now, so please be a little patient with us. We promise every single order will be delivered ASAP.
