Nigerian hip-hop artiste, Jude Abaga, popularly known as MI, has said that his colleague Ice Prince is in the top three greatest rappers of all time in Nigeria.
He argued that Ice Prince does not receive enough recognition for his contribution to the Nigerian hip-hop genre.
The “African Rapper Number One” crooner spoke on a recent episode of his podcast “Tea With Tee.”
“When people talk about who I think is the greatest rapper of all time, I feel like Ice Prince’s true influence is always ignored in the conversation,” MI said.
“We have to remember what Ice Prince did for us. Ice Prince was a man of global hip-hop supremacy. From the ‘Orek’ days to South Africa. It was hit after hit. When we started collaborating with international artists, Ice Prince was one of the first artists to collaborate with them. We had a song with French Montana and we went to America and he won a BET award.
“I think it’s because he’s just a cold guy. He doesn’t play the trumpet. He stays in his lane. So people don’t judge him. He’s one of the greatest Nigerian rappers of all time. I think he should be in the top three. He’s a really influential guy. He’s made a huge difference to this genre (Nigerian hip-hop) and to Afrobeats and moving forward. Ice Prince was there the whole time with Wizkid, Davido and everyone else.
