Arabic speakers often have trouble pronouncing the p and in Arabic Pepsi is called Bebsi. This became a meme several years ago.

No, 🅱️ came from mirroring how "bloods" would replace a "crips" tag C with B, likewise were C's and later other letters replaced with 🅱️

Reason being for this is that P doesn't exist in Arabic. Same thing with V. It's replaced with f.
