Nigerian rapper Ice Prince has explained the reason behind his sudden weight loss, saying it is a result of lifestyle changes and not illness.
The ‘Oleku’ hitmaker said he decided to shed weight after gaining excess belly fat due to unhealthy habits. He added that concerns from family and friends pushed him to begin a fitness journey.
Sharing his story in a post on X on Monday, the rapper revealed that music producer Chopstix encouraged him to start exercising.
He wrote, “God so good inna me life… A short story! I was literally about to explode. No sickness (Bless God), just bad habits and choices. But then Chopstix and Dami said, ‘Let’s lose the belly, Ice,’ and that really sparked something in my brain that got me activated. From that meeting, my brother Chopstix started coming to my house every day after dinner and we both walked my estate for an hour.”
Ice Prince said the walks helped improve his fitness and mental health, adding that his discussions with Chopstix during their evening walks were invaluable.
His post comes amid rising public attention on celebrity weight transformations.
In 2022, actress Eniola Badmus lost about 80 kilograms, while earlier this year, Mercy Johnson-Okojie faced online scrutiny over her own weight loss, which she later said was due to a thyroid surgery.
