Ice Prince has acknowledged Jude MI Abaga as a mentor who taught him the art of rap.
In an interview on Curiosity Made Me Ask, the 38-year-old rapper confidently spoke about his rap abilities.
He stated that his strong foundation under MI’s mentorship makes it impossible for him to be labeled as “wack”.
Ice Prince, born Panshak Zamani, revealed that he trained under Abaga for years.
He also described MI as a “mentor” and “big brother” who equipped him with everything he knows about rap.
“I can rap on any beat, with anybody, any rapper and I will stand out. I’m not going to have a wack verse on a song,” he said.
“I’m not saying other rappers cannot rap or do their thing but it can’t be said that I’m wack. I was brought up by the best, shout out to MI Abaga.
“I rapped with MI for years. That’s my big brother, he taught me how to do this and he taught me well.”
Ice Prince started to enjoy fame in 2011 after he released ‘Oleku’, a chart-topping song off his debut album.
He has continued to put out hit songs and collaborated with other music heavyweights.
Abaga, on the other hand, gained recognition in 2006 with ‘Crowd Mentality’.
Since then, the ace rapper has established himself as a household name in Africa.
He has also earned an avalanche of awards and recognition. In 2009, he snagged the Best Hip Hop Act category at the MTV Africa Music Awards.
