Ice Prince, whose full name is Panshak Henry Zamani, recently opened up about a pivotal moment in his life during a podcast appearance. The 38-year-old rapper shared that his journey to success was fraught with challenges, including financial struggles that once stopped him from pursuing higher education.
Reflecting on his past, Ice Prince revealed that he couldn't afford the N20,000 required to register for university.
In hos words, Ice Prince said “I am an orphan and the only son in a large family that depends on me. I don’t have aunties, uncles, or godparents to rely on. It’s been nothing but God in my life, and I want people to look at my journey and think, “If this imperfect human can make it, then nobody has an excuse to fail.”
I was the guy who, every term, would spend at least three weeks at home because of school fees. Let me tell you why I didn’t attend university: it was because of N20K. I had about two weeks to come up with that money, but I couldn’t, and that’s how I lost my admission.
From there, I became a studio rat. I could’ve turned to the streets or done street stuff, especially since I come from a very dang+rous place called Jos. Jos is calm and peaceful now, but back then it was like ‘New York.’
I did menial jobs: I worked as a pool table attendant and made leather slippers just to get by.
I was born into some privilege—my dad was rich when he was alive, but after he passed away, things changed. I’m not academically inclined or very smart, but I am grateful, and I thank
God for my life.”
"I didn't go to the University because of 20,000 Naira."
