As you read this, Nigerian rapper, Panshak Zamani a.k.a Ice Prince is no longer a signed act on the imprint of Chocolate City Records, Yesterday, the talented rapper released a new song titled ‘Chike‘ featuring Mavin act, KoredeBello. On all the artwork and graphic designs used to promote the song, the ‘famous’ Chocolate City logo was conspicuously missing.
Shortly afterwards, he was
on Cool
FM where he granted an interview and hinted that
he’s not been in contract with Choc City for the past three years.
Now, here’s the real
story!
Ice
Prince’s manager of many years, Tobi Sanni Daniel, CEO
of State of Mind Entertainment, who
explained that ‘Ice Prince has not been in a contractual relationship with
Chocolate City for the past three years’.
The
rapper has been with Choc City for almost eight years now, his initial
five-year contract expired three years ago, but he chose to stay with the label
and not renew his contract.
Explaining
further, Tobi says, ‘Just like everything in life, growth happened, there
was a rise in his profile that has necessitated a rise in financial value and
id very expensive for any label in Nigeria to afford and it didn’t make
sense to attempt to stretch the company that far, but the last three years has
been very cordial’.
He
continued, ‘We chose to stay with the label even without signing papers
because we understood the essence of loyalty, we are matured and we are one big
family’.
Concluding,
he said, ‘So let me clarify once again that no one walked out of a contract,
Audu will always remain his godfather and MI Abaga will always remain his
mentor’.
