- Ice Prince, a Nigerian singer, has shared his childhood experiences as an orphan.
- The ‘Aboki’ crooner experienced a significant life shift when he lost his mother at 21 and his father at 11.
Ice Prince, the well-known musician Panshak Zamani, has talked about his childhood challenges as a child.
According to the “Aboki” crooner, his life took a difficult turn when he lost his mother at the age of 21, after losing his father when he was just eleven years old.
In a recent “Listen” podcast episode, Ice Prince revealed that he worked a variety of low-paying jobs to pay for his education but chose not to go to college because he lacked the N20,000.
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.”
