Ice Prince Zamani claimed that MI Abaga is in the same category as the world’s greatest rapper reflecting the respect and admiration he has for his former record label mate.
MI Abaga is widely recognized as one of Nigeria’s finest and most influential rappers, and his contributions to the Nigerian hip-hop scene have earned him acclaim both locally and internationally.
Furthermore, Ice Prince’s praise for veteran rapper Modenine as the best metaphorical rapper to ever exist highlights the impact and legacy of Modenine’s lyrical prowess in the Nigerian hip-hop landscape.
Ice Prince’s concerns about foreign record labels dominating the Nigerian music industry are shared by many artists and industry professionals. The global reach and resources of foreign labels can sometimes overshadow local talent, making it challenging for Nigerian artists to compete on an international scale.
His call for veteran music executives in Nigeria to step up indicates a desire for more support and opportunities for local talents to thrive in the music industry. Encouraging and nurturing local talent is essential for the growth and sustainability of the Nigerian music scene.
Overall, Ice Prince’s comments shed light on the dynamic and evolving nature of the Nigerian music industry, and his recognition of MI Abaga and Modenine’s contributions adds to the celebration of Nigerian hip-hop talent.
Ice Prince said;
“I can put M.I next to any rapper in the world. He made us study the game a lot. He played a huge role in my life.
“Don’t see anybody that raps better than Mode 9 (Modenine) on planet earth. He is the best metaphorical rapper ever to exist”.
He added;
“Our OGs like Obi Asika, Audu Maikori, Kenny Ogungbe and Segun Demuren need to have their foothold in the game. We need them as much as we need these international labels.”
