Critics Say Iceprince Does Not Deserve the Best African Artiste Award (VGMA)

We recently reported that homeboi Ice Prince won the VGMA - Vodafone Ghana Music Awards which was recently held in Accra as the Best African Artiste.

Now industry peeps be thinking he (Iceprince Zamani) does not deserve the award. According to critics, The ELI album was not much of a success compared to D'Banj's and even Wizkid's who are in the same category. Only his (iceprince) debut single with label mate Brymo was groundbreaking. 

What qualifies him for the Best African Artiste award in a category that had A-list Nigerian players like D'banj, Naeto C, Wizkid and Duncan Mighty?

what's your view!

Gen Gen, Don Jazzy Replies D'Banj

Nigerian producer, President and CEO of the Mohit’s Record label, Don Jazzy has spoken out on the recent wave of attacks by artist, singer and former (if correct to say) Vice President of Mo’hits, Dapo “Kokomaster Dbanj” Oyebanjo.
In an exclusive interview with Don Jazzy, who started off by saying he never wanted the issue to become this messy, even as he was aware of the way and manner social media has changed the way people view issue surrounding the lives of celebrities; a reason he said was why he’s always cautious of what he says and the interviews he grants to the media.
Both industry power-weights have been at loggerhead over alleged multiple financial disagreements, discrepancies involved in the signing of artist Dbanj into Kanye West’s Good Music record label, Don Jazzy’s lackadaisical attitude, Dbanj’s alleged public irresponsibility among other differences and conflicts that popped up between both.

Very certain we have not seen the end of this

D'Banj: How Don Jazzy Betrayed Our Friendship- New Interview

This is a long one regarding the feud between D'banj and Don Jazzy written by Ayeni Adekunle of Thenetng.com .

‘There’s an important person in that building, right?’ the cab driver asked. ‘Important musician?’ I nodded, too tired to let any curious driver drag me into a conversation. He got the message and left me alone the entire drive from Canary Wharf to the London Marriot Hotel, in Grosvenor Square.

Then, as I got down to get my suitcase from the trunk, he gave me a knowing look, smiled, and said ‘are you the musician?’ ‘Of course not’, I said to him, smiling this time. ‘The musician is in Canary Wharf, his name is D’banj’. Silence. Confused look. ‘D’banj?’

Yes, D’banj. He’s big in Africa. You know ‘Oliver Twist?’ Silence again, then as his final ‘no’ came, I said ‘Google him.’

It was 4am on Saturday, April 21. I arrived in London eight hours earlier, and had spent almost all of that time chatting with D’banj, in his first interview with a Nigerian newspaper in a long time, and his first interview on the Mo’Hits brouhaha.

Ice Prince Wins African Artiste of the Year at the VGMA’s

Chocolate City rapper, Panshak Zamani ' Ice Prince, last weekend beat off stiff competition to emerge African Act of the Year at the 2012 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

The ‘Superstar’ rapper beat Wizkid, pop star D’banj, rapper Naeto C, Duncan Mighty and Congolese act Cabo Snoop to clinch the award. He was presented with the award at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Center after having performed for the cream of entertainers and fans with his fellow ‘Choc Boiz’ MI and Brymo. Ice also performed at the event last year. Having a good outing with his Choc Boiz fam, the rapper admitted this year’s performance was an opportunity for him to make up for his woeful 2011 performance.

Apart from Cabo Snoop, he was the only Best African Act nominee in attendance, and obviously, the only Nigerian. And sources say his win was as a result of his popularity in Ghana, thanks to his smash hits ‘Superstar’ and ‘Oleku’ which features labelmate Brymo.

‘It’s surprising, the people love Ice Prince. I think the only person they love that way right now is Flavour. It’s so amazing’ a Nigerian guest told us shortly after the show. The win now places the young rapper in a great position to further grow his profile across the continent, following in the footsteps of the likes of Psquare, 2face Idibia, Bracket, Flavour and D’banj who are bonafide bestsellers in nearly every part of the continent.
