Nigerian rapper, Panshak Henry Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince, has opened up about his fears surrounding marriage, admitting that he is hesitant about taking that step.
Speaking during a podcast conversation with media personality, Rufai Oseni, the 39-year-old artist explained that seeing many marriages collapse shortly after weddings has influenced his perspective on settling down.
The rapper also spoke about the pressure attached to elaborate wedding ceremonies, pointing out that some people even borrow money to fund expensive celebrations.

“These days I get scared of this marriage thing more and more everyday because I see people get married and in less than a year they want out.
“I see the drama people go through to get married, the stress about borrowing money. My friends are constantly reaching out to me to borrow money to get married and I don’t want to be that person,” he stated.
Ice Prince further revealed that he may eventually reconsider marriage after turning 40, mentioning that some individuals he admires chose to marry around that stage in life.
”I’m hoping that maybe when I am 40. Some of my mentors got married that age – somebody like M.I Abaga got married at that age.
“Maybe when I’m that age I’ll probably be thinking about that. For now I don’t intend to.
“Also I have other goals when I’m 40. I intend to go to school. I really want to go to school so bad and I’d like to run a farm when I’m that age. I don’t intend to be dropping albums when I’m 40,” he added.
Beyond marriage, the musician shared some of his long-term ambitions, including returning to school and managing a farm later in life, while suggesting that he may step away from releasing albums by the time he reaches 40.
