Ice Prince and show promoter at war

Ice Prince is in the news again but now, not for a good reason.
Just after the news of his BET award which he received in an ‘empty hall’ made waves recently, the artiste has been accused of not performing in a show which he was allegedly paid for in Paris. Read more

The singer, as Saturday Beats gathered, was allegedly billed to put up a 10pm appearance at the Salons and Wilson Club in Paris last Saturday. However, he didn’t show up till it was 6am the next day.
Obviously irked by the act’s behaviour, fans took to twitter and blasted the singer the social media.
However, the singer, in his twitter handle, apologised to his fans and blamed his act on the show promoter. He said, “Apologies to the fans that came out last night. A better promoter will put up a better show soon.”
And of course, someone who claimed  to be close to the show promoter, Onyeka Nwelue, didn’t take this lightly. He too went on twitter and blasted the singer, calling him unprintable names.
In any case, when Saturday Beats reached out to Chocolate City, Ice Prince’s label, to ascertain what really went wrong in Paris, a member of staff of the label, Ibukun Abidoye, said Chocolate City wasn’t ready to comment on the rift.
“I am sure you will hear from us very soon. We are going to issue a press release concerning the issue,” she said.
