Ice Prince Addresses Weight Loss Rumours, Says He Is Healthy
Nigerian rapper and singer Ice Prince Zamani has reassured fans that his recent weight loss is not a result of illness, but a conscious effort to live a healthier life.
The ‘Oleku’ hitmaker, whose slimmer appearance has sparked online speculation, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to clarify that he made lifestyle changes after gaining excess belly fat due to unhealthy habits.
According to Ice Prince, the transformation began after his longtime friend and producer Chopstix encouraged him to take fitness seriously.
“God so good inna me life,” he wrote. “I was literally about to explode… no sickness (bless God), just bad habits and choices. But then Chopstix and Dami said, ‘let’s lose the belly, Ice,’ and that really sparked something in my brain that got me activated.”
He revealed that Chopstix supported him throughout the journey, often joining him for daily walks around his estate after dinner. “Our talks during those walks are priceless to me,” he added.
Ice Prince’s statement comes amid a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities undergoing major physical transformations. In 2022, actress Eniola Badmus shed over 80 kilograms, while earlier this year, Mercy Johnson-Okojie opened up about her own weight loss, explaining it followed a thyroid surgery that initially led to public concern.
The rapper’s revelation has since drawn praise from fans commending his transparency and commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
