Nigerian singer‑songwriter Ice Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince, has disclosed further details of the lifestyle changes he implemented as part of his recent weight‑loss journey. In a series of posts on the social media platform X, the artist confirmed that he has adopted complete abstinence from sexual activity, tobacco, alcohol, sugary drinks and certain staple foods.
The 38‑year‑old musician, who rose to prominence with the 2010 hit “Oleku,” stated that his decision to quit both smoking and sexual activity represents “the best decision” he has ever made. In a post dated 1 May 2024, Ice Prince wrote: “Quitting sex and cigarette is by far the best decision I ever made in my life. From chronic smoker to non‑smoker. God is the greatest!!! Feeling unchained and saved.” He added that he has also refrained from consuming alcohol, soda, energy drinks and bread for more than a year.
According to the artist, the cumulative effect of these changes has contributed to a sense of physical and mental liberation. “I feel unchained and saved,” he posted, describing his transformation as a source of renewed wellbeing. The rapper also indicated his intention to maintain the new regimen indefinitely, noting that he “feels good” and wishes to continue the lifestyle for the rest of his life.
Ice Prince’s public discussion of his health overhaul follows previous reports of his weight‑loss efforts, which have been documented through before‑and‑after photographs and fitness updates shared on his social channels. The singer’s shift away from smoking aligns with broader public health trends in Nigeria, where tobacco use remains a leading risk factor for non‑communicable diseases. Similarly, his abstention from alcohol and sugary beverages reflects growing awareness of the role of diet and lifestyle in managing weight and preventing chronic conditions.
While the artist has not disclosed a formal health plan or professional guidance behind the changes, his transparency may influence fans and followers who look to public figures for lifestyle inspiration. By openly sharing personal choices such as celibacy and total cessation of nicotine, Ice Prince adds to a developing narrative of celebrity health advocacy within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The ongoing dialogue surrounding his health choices underscores the potential impact of celebrity endorsements on public health behaviors, particularly in regions where lifestyle‑related diseases continue to rise. Further updates from Ice Prince may provide additional insight into the sustainability of his regimen and its long‑term effects on his health and career.
