VIDEO: I spend N60,000 on weed daily - Ice Prince

Nigerian rapper Panshak Zamani, widely known as Ice Prince, disclosed in a recent podcast appearance that he spends approximately N60,000 daily on cannabis. The artist, who gained fame with his hit song "Oleku," also mentioned that he frequently covers the cost of cannabis for producers, artists, and writers within his circle.

“

I smoke N60,000 bag of weed every day. So if you can smoke N60,000 bags of weed every day, that’s on the basic.

During an episode of the Nevon podcast hosted by Rufai Oseni, uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday, Ice Prince elaborated on his daily expenses. He noted that his spending increases when he is with company, as he typically assumes the financial responsibility for everyone present. "I smoke N60,000 bag of weed every day. So if you can smoke N60,000 bags of weed every day, that’s on the basic," he stated. He added that while he is the one buying, his collaborators do not purchase weed from him.

“

When I have people around me, obviously I’m the one who’s buying the weed. There’s always boys around me, whether it’s producers or whether it’s artists, writers, they’re always around me. They don’t buy weed from me. I’m the one who’s always buying.

Despite this substantial daily expenditure, Ice Prince asserted that he remains financially secure. "I’m very okay. Very comfortable. I’m comfortable by God’s grace," he insisted. The rapper also touched upon his journey towards a healthier lifestyle, crediting his producer and friend, Chopstix, for motivating him to lose weight. Chopstix, known for his work on tracks like Burna Boy's "Last Last" and a Grammy-winning Chris Brown album, reportedly advised Ice Prince to "cut the belly" and start exercising.

“

I’m very okay. Very comfortable. I’m comfortable by God’s grace.

Ice Prince recalled that while he had received similar advice before, Chopstix's delivery was particularly impactful. The producer further supported his advice by accompanying Ice Prince on daily walks for several weeks. This consistent encouragement led Ice Prince to adopt the habit independently. He expressed gratitude to Chopstix, calling him a "true friend who was there for me."

“

Before we worked on that project, Chopstix just said something to me that sunk a little bit different. He just said, you know, this project, we could drop out and we could just give them new look. I think you should just cut the belly. We’ll just start to exercise a little bit.
