Panshak Zamani, the popular Nigerian rapper, who is famously known as Ice Prince, has opened up on his childhood struggles as an orphan.
The ‘Aboki’ crooner shared that his life took a challenging turn when he lost his mother at the age of 21, having already experienced the loss of his father at the young age of 11.
In a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Ice Prince disclosed that he worked various menial jobs to support himself through school but did not attend university due to lack of 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.”
