JTE Gist: Its Only God That Makes A Song a Smash Hit Not The Artiste

No matter what anybody thinks of Ice Prince these days, the former Chocolate City artiste has paid his dues.

Recently, Ice Prince, real name Panshak Zamani had been slammed for his inability to churn out a hit song for a while now. The now boss of Super Cool Cats has been ridiculed on Twitter and even called an upcoming artiste.

Meanwhile the ‘Oleku’ crooner is unbothered, as he believes that he can only make music but God determines which song becomes a hit record. He made this opinion known in a quick chat with Sunday Scoop.

“My duty is to create music, but how far the music goes is not for me to decide. God did what He did for Ice Prince and He did what He did for the Nigerian music industry. Music evolves and if God blesses an artiste to make a song that has a huge impact, such a person shouldn’t claim he is responsible for the glory. It is God, not the artiste.

“I don’t know if you will ask 2Baba when he will release another African Queen or you will ask 9ice when he will make another Gongo Aso. Will you ask Olu Maintain when he is dropping another Yahooze. I made Oleku, and I have also done other great songs.”
