Nigerian rapper Panshak Henry Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince or Ice Prince Zamani, has made a startling revelation about his past lifestyle. During a podcast session at Nevon HQ, the award-winning artist disclosed the massive amount he spent on cannabis over the years and how it influenced his decision to quit smoking.
Ice Prince admitted that his spending habits on weed were excessive and financially draining, particularly with one supplier. He stated, "From 2020 to 2026, I spent ₦340 million on weed from just one dealer alone, not to mention my other dealers in Abuja, Ghana, Jos, and London. This is literally just one guy." The rapper explained that realizing how much he was spending became a turning point, ultimately pushing him to step away from the habit.
Fitness Transformation
In a separate interview on the Echo Room podcast, Ice Prince opened up about his fitness transformation. He revealed that his decision to take fitness seriously was inspired by an early 2025 conversation with producer Chopsticks. Chopsticks told him, "We need to give them a new look, we need to lose the belly, grow the beard," a comment that Ice Prince said "just sunk in a way that I had never heard before." According to the rapper, he began his weight-loss journey on that very day. He started researching fitness and nutrition, following fitness trainers online, and learning about food choices. He shared another statement from Chopsticks that became a guiding principle: "Everything that goes into your mouth is supposed to be medicine; everything that goes into your mouth should play a role in your body." Ice Prince revealed that he started with intermittent fasting and strict dietary changes, cutting out sugar and alcohol except for rare cheat days. He also emphasized the importance of exercise and walking routines.
