Nigerian music sensation Ice Prince has sparked a lively debate online by claiming that breakfast is a “scam.” This revelation comes as he shares insights into his personal journey of weight loss and lifestyle adjustments, all in preparation for an upcoming project.

Ice Prince opened up about the origins of his transformation, linking it closely to his career and the emergence of a new chapter in his life. He revealed that a conversation with his team earlier this year was the catalyst for re-evaluating his health and appearance.

“Anybody eating breakfast right now is a princess.”

The musician recounted, “Dammy DAPA and Chopsticks told me we needed a new look for the next project. They said I should lose the belly, grow the beard, and something about it just sank in. That very day, I started my weight-loss journey.”

As he embarked on this path, Ice Prince experienced a profound shift in his perspective on food.

He went on to explain how his mindset around food completely changed.

“Everything that goes into your mouth should be medicine. It should play a role in your body. So I started watching what I eat. I started intermittent fasting, eating once a day, making ginger tea with turmeric, cloves and lemon.”

The singer added that he cut out sugar and alcohol almost entirely, adopted long walks and daily jogging, and eventually stopped eating breakfast altogether.

“I stopped drinking sugar, stopped alcohol. I walk every evening when I’m in Lagos and jog every morning by 5 a.m. I even cut off breakfast. Anybody eating breakfast right now is a princess. It’s a scam,” he said.
