Nigerian music sensation, Ice Prince, has ignited intense discussions online after candidly declaring that consuming breakfast is a “scam” while revealing insights into his personal weight-loss journey, lifestyle transformation, and preparations for his upcoming music project.
The award-winning artist shared that his health and fitness changes were motivated by career considerations and the desire to present a refreshed image to fans. He emphasized that the decision was deliberate, stemming from conversations with his team and a personal commitment to improving his overall wellbeing.
“Anybody eating breakfast right now is a princess.”
Ice Prince elaborated that earlier in the year, discussions with his management team played a pivotal role in reshaping his approach to his health. “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,” he explained. This conversation marked the beginning of a complete overhaul of his diet, exercise habits, and daily routines, aimed at achieving a leaner physique and better energy levels for his upcoming work.
The singer described how his perspective on food shifted dramatically, adopting the mindset that everything ingested should serve as medicine for the body. “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,” he said. By redefining his eating habits, Ice Prince committed to a nutritional strategy that prioritized metabolic health and overall fitness over conventional meal patterns.
Further detailing his lifestyle changes, he highlighted his strict elimination of sugar and alcohol, the addition of consistent cardiovascular exercise, and the complete removal of breakfast from his routine. “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 stated. These adjustments, he claims, contributed significantly to his improved physique, mental clarity, and readiness for professional endeavors.
Social media reactions
Ice Prince’s bold statements sparked a wide range of responses on social media. Some users challenged his claims, while others supported his weight-loss approach or reacted humorously. For instance, @androidotai remarked, “This is how wrong information is popularised on social media. I eat breakfast daily and don’t have a big tummy. Eat whole meals and avoid soda. I’m a food scientist.”
@boxypiper commented, “He’s about to drop his album. Na so dem dey move,” hinting that the timing of his weight-loss journey may coincide with promotional activities for upcoming music releases. Meanwhile, @xvmmusik humorously shared, “Me happily eating bole at 6:15 this morning,” poking fun at his own breakfast routine. Other reactions included playful takes on relationships and fitness, with @exdotcome saying, “Say you no chop breakfast for morning no mean say you no fit chop am for relationships,” and @JokerSeil noting, “Enjoy your weight loss bro. You were a princess too.”
The video of Ice Prince discussing his weight-loss strategy and controversial breakfast stance quickly went viral, drawing attention to his health discipline, intermittent fasting regimen, and views on diet culture. Many fans and critics alike engaged in debates about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices, reflecting the polarizing yet influential nature of celebrity fitness trends.
