In the past month, happenings and activities in the camp of Award winning Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince Zamani, suggested that he might be on his way out of his record label, Chocolate City.
Kind of confirmning this just a week ago, he opened a new Instagram account (@supercool_ice). This showed that he's getting serious with his new project ‘Super Cool Cats’ which many industry pundits believe is a ‘record label’.
However, his manager of many years,Tobi Sanni Daniel, CEO of State of Mind Entertainment spoke to NET's correspondent, saying, ‘Ice prince will never leave Choc City, even in death. It’s like a daughter who gets to a certain age and gets married, of course she’ll change her name, but that doesn’t mean she’ll stop being the child of her father. It’s because for some reason, age and maturity has transcended her to where she is now’.
NET reports that he added: ‘So for that reason, Ice Prince can never leave Chocolate City even in death, but the prayer we all have for our children is that at a certain age they’ll begin to branch out and do certain things which shows that you are a man’.
He, however, confirmed that indeed Ice Prince is starting a new movement called ‘Super Cool Cats’ which will officially kick off in January 2016. In his words, ‘Ice prince is starting a movement called ‘Super Cool Cats’ and this movement will see him supporting existing and new artistes and creative people like producers, graphic designers, video directors. But let it be clear that the movement is not a record label. He’s just identifying raw talents to help grow and nurture them, it’s a project he'll concentrate on as his own project, which means he’ll have to decentralise a little bit from certain things in affiliation with Chocolate City because that'll conflict with authority. But Choc City remains one family that was formed even before they came to Lagos so no one can put asunder.
On whether Ice Prince will still retain his position as Vice President of Chocolate City music, and his manager responded: ‘That I might not be able to respond to for certain reasons, but things will unfold in the coming weeks with regards to being the VP of Choc City music. But as it is today, he is the VP’.
