Nigerian rapper and singer Panshak Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince, has shared deeply personal reflections on his past, opening up about the mistakes he has made—especially in his relationships with women.
The “Oleku” hitmaker made the heartfelt confession during a candid conversation on the Konnected Minds podcast, where he was asked to reveal one major decision he would undo if given the chance. Known for his smooth flow and chart-topping hits, Ice Prince chose to speak not about music or money—but matters of the heart.
“I’ve Broken Hearts I Wish I Hadn’t”
Without hesitation, Ice Prince admitted that some of his deepest regrets stem from his romantic past. He told the host that if there’s one thing he could change in his journey so far, it would be how he handled relationships with certain women who came into his life.
“Maybe decisions with women,” the rapper replied honestly. “I have broken a few hearts that I regret. I’ve messed up in some relationships that I wish I could turn back the hands of time.”
The rapper, who once captured the hearts of fans across Africa with emotional ballads and smooth love tracks, said those experiences have stayed with him. According to him, some of the women he lost were truly special.
“I have lost some very amazing angels due to some stupid stuff,” he said. “Stuff I could probably have avoided—girls I shouldn’t have said ‘hi’ to, or followed back on social media. Some little, tiny mistakes.”
“Mistakes Are Part of the Journey”
While Ice Prince admitted to those regrets, he also believes they’ve played a role in shaping who he is today. The rapper emphasized that he’s tried to learn from each of his missteps and grow into a better version of himself.
“Everything happens for a reason,” he reflected. “Sometimes in life, you just have to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them. As for me, I’ve tried to learn from every mistake I’ve made.”
For Ice Prince, those errors aren’t just distant memories—they’ve become lessons that have helped him mature both as a man and as an artist.
“As you grow older, you just learn to live with the regrets,” he added. “There’s nothing you can do to change the past, but you can choose to be better in the future.”
Fans React to Ice Prince’s Honesty
Since the interview aired, fans and followers have taken to social media to praise the rapper for his vulnerability. Many appreciated his willingness to be open about his flaws and past relationships—a rare move in an industry that often prizes bravado over emotional depth.
A fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
“Real men take responsibility. Ice Prince just showed another side of himself, and it’s beautiful to see. Growth!”
Another follower commented on Instagram:
“We’ve all made mistakes in love. But owning up to them publicly takes courage. Respect to Ice Prince for being real.”
The comments continued with many supporters noting how his statement resonated with their own life experiences. Some even suggested that his next song should be inspired by the regrets he shared.
A Career of Highs and Lows
Ice Prince, who made his major breakthrough in 2010 with the iconic hit “Oleku” featuring Brymo, has seen both massive success and quieter moments in his music journey. He followed up with albums like Everybody Loves Ice Prince and Fire of Zamani, carving a place for himself in the Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats scenes.
Despite his undeniable talent, Ice Prince has been relatively lowkey in recent years, with fewer releases and public appearances. However, he continues to command respect in the industry and is often praised for his lyrical depth and calm demeanor.
His latest podcast appearance seems to have rekindled interest among fans, many of whom are now looking forward to new music that could reflect this more introspective and emotionally open version of the artist.
“Growth Is Inevitable”
During the conversation, Ice Prince emphasized that he doesn’t see past mistakes as failures—but as essential lessons. He also encouraged young men, especially those in the entertainment industry, to treat their relationships with care and intentionality.
“As a man, especially when you’re young and on top of your game, it’s easy to make decisions without thinking long-term,” he said. “But eventually, the people you hurt stick in your memory. You grow, and you realize some of those decisions weren’t worth it.”
He further added that maturity has helped him prioritize emotional intelligence and spiritual growth.
“At this stage of my life, peace and genuine connections matter more to me than anything else. Fame is temporary. How you treat people—that lasts,” he said.
Looking Ahead
Although Ice Prince didn’t disclose whether he is currently in a relationship, he hinted that he is more emotionally grounded now than ever before. He expressed a desire to build more meaningful connections in the future, and possibly even rekindle some old ones—if life gives him that chance.
“If I ever get another chance with some of the women I lost, who knows? But for now, I just focus on being better,” he smiled.
As the interview continues to generate buzz online, fans are hopeful that this new phase of reflection might inspire fresh music from the iconic artist. Whether it’s another heartfelt ballad or a soul-baring rap verse, one thing is clear—Ice Prince is still evolving, and the journey is far from over.
