There is an uneasy among fans of Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince, over his newly established outfit, Super Cool Ice, which is expected to fully kick off in January 2015.
There are speculations that the vice chairman of Choc City, his record label, might be on his way out of the music outfit. But his manager, Tobi Sanni Daniel, has dispelled such rumour, claiming nothing will make the rapper leave Choc City.
This rumour was fuelled following the opening of a new Instagram account for Super Cool Ice.
Ice Prince’s manager told NET that ‘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’.
Daniel further said, ‘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’.
Explaining what the new outfit will do, the manager said, ‘Super Cool Cats will see him (Ice Prince) 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.’
However, Daniel could not confirm if Ice Prince will still retain his position as Vice President of Chocolate City music after he kicks off his own company.
