“I’ve Done So Many Things For Africa, Nigerian Music, But People Often Disrespect Me” – Rapper Ice Prince Laments

Nigerian rapper Panshak Henry Zamani, better known as Ice Prince, has lamented the disrespect he has received in the music industry.

In his latest interview, he noted how he has done many things for Africa and Nigerian music, but people often disrespect or sleep on him.

He further noted how he was the first African artist to go on the BET stage to receive an award, had done a deal with Jay Z, and was also the first artist to be on Breakfast Club.

The rapper, tooting his horns, said he has done so many amazing things in life and in his career.

He bragged that he doesn’t make music for accolades or respect, as giving artists titles like legend, king, and OG doesn’t move him.

Ice Prince also bragged about being the only artist who left his record label without drama.

He noted how his former label mates, Jesse and Brymo, left the label with drama. Explaining why, he said he isn’t a drama person and doesn’t like drama.

“I’m the first African artist to go on the BET stage and collect the BET award. I am one of the only artists, probably in the world, who left his record label without any drama. Pretty much, there was drama with everybody, Jesse left with drama, and Brymo left with drama. I am not a drama person; I don’t like drama.

I have done so much for Nigeria and Africa, but people always disrespect or sleep on me. I don’t make music for accolades or respect.

You see all these titles like “Legend,” “King,” “OG,” etc. I don’t even like them. For me, music is beyond the accolades or awards that come with it.

I’ve done some amazing stuff for my career, and I’ve done a deal with Jay Z before. I was the first African artist on the Breakfast Club. Done so many things in my life, and you think I am making music for that”.
