Renowned Nigerian rapper, MI Abaga, has asserted that Ice Prince, his fellow artist, ranks among the top three Nigerian rappers in history. MI Abaga made this proclamation during a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, hosted by Taymesan.

According to the "Bad Belle" artist, Ice Prince's significant contributions to Nigerian hip-hop culture often go unnoticed, despite his global dominance with the hit track "Oleku."

MI Abaga argued that Ice Prince is frequently overlooked in crucial discussions within the hip-hop community, emphasizing that the rapper's modesty contributes to his underappreciation, even though his impact is undeniable.

MI said;

“When people talk about who I regard as some greatest rappers of all-time, I feel like Ice Prince always gets neglected in the conversation for his real impacts.

We have to remember what Ice Prince did for us. Ice Prince was the guy that had global hip-hop dominance. From ‘Oleku’ period to South Africa. It was just hit after hit. When we started doing collaborations with international artists, Ice Prince was one of the first [to collaborate with them]. We was doing song with French Montana, going to the U.S. He won BET award.

I think it’s because he is just a chilled guy. He doesn’t blow his trumpet. He stays in his lane. So, people don’t rate him. I think he should be in the top 3 greatest Nigerian rappers of all-time conversations.

He is really that impactful. He made such a difference to the genre [Nigerian hip-hop], and to Afrobeats and that movement forward. Ice Prince was there the whole time with Wizkid, Davido, all those guys.”
