However, Ice Prince said he has found solace in prayer, revealing that he still sees AKA in his prayers and believes they’re at peace. 

“But I have prayed about it so many times. I still see him in my prayers. Sometimes, when I’m praying I see him there. So, I know we are at peace. I know he looks out for me as one of my homeboys in heaven,” he expressed.

Ice Prince replied, “Maybe decisions with women. I have broken a few hearts that I regret. I have messed up in some relationships that I wish I could turn back the hands of time. But everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, in life, you just have to learn from you mistakes and not repeat them.

“As for me, I have tried to learn from every mistake I have made. I have made a lot of mistakes, especially regarding women. I have lost some very amazing angels due to some stupid stuff; stuff I could probably have avoided, girls I shouldn’t have said ‘hi’ to or follow back on social media. Some little, tiny mistakes. As you grow older, you just learn to live with the regrets.”

However, he struggled to pay school fees and was often forced to stay home for weeks.

He said: “I don’t have a mother or father. I’m an only son. That’s quite tough. I was eleven years old when I lost my dad. I was about 21 or 22 when my mum passed away. And I have a huge family that depends on me.

“I don’t have no uncle, aunty, godfather or godmother that I depend on. It has been nothing but God in my life.

“I want people to look at my life and say if I can succeed then no one has an excuse to fail.

“I was the guy that spent at least three weeks at home every term because of school fees. I didn’t go to the University because of N20,000. I had about two weeks to pay that money but I couldn’t raise it on time. That was how I lost the admission.”

Nigerian rapper and singer Ice Prince, born Panshak Zamani, has opened up about his difficult experience spending six days at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos.

The rapper’s candid revelations highlight the emotional and social challenges of incarceration, even for public figures.

He said: “Whatever story you were told is not what happened. The case is over now, so I can talk about it. I spent six days in jail. I didn’t get preferential treatment. It’s a prison, so there was no preferential treatment. I’m not talking about a police cell.

“I have seen a lot of celebrities and public figures who went to police cells come out to brag as if they went through some sht. If you’ve never been to prison, you ain’t seen it yet. I can’t explain it. It’s a different world. I don’t pray for my worst enemy to experience it. You have to be careful out there because mistakes can take you there. There are so many innocent people in there. It wasn’t a good experience.

“But I made friends in there. We hung out and chatted. It’s a different institution of higher learning.”

Ice Prince claimed that his arrest was a misunderstanding, stating that he was joking with the police officer when he drove off during a stop-and-search operation.
