Ice Prince: The making of a Nigerian hip hop star
The journey to success for Panshak Zamani or Ice Prince, has been shaped by personal loss and violent conflict. But he went on to release one of the most remixed songs in Nigeria.
Growing up in the city of Jos in central Nigeria, Panshak Zamani better known as Ice Prince, never set out to become a musician. But through personal loss and the violent crisis he saw unfolding on the streets, he found solace in singing and rap. Panshak tells Anu Anand how he overcame his struggles to write a hit song that became one of the most remixed ever in Nigeria and rose to international fame.
This summer Giuseppe Paternò fulfilled his lifelong dream of learning, becoming Italy’s oldest graduate at the age of 97. His only sadness is that his beloved wife isn't around to witness it.
