Panshak Zamani, better known as Ice Prince, a well-known Nigerian rapper and singer, has shared his experience in prison.

In September 2022, a magistrate court in Lagos State sent him to the Ikoyi Correctional Centre for allegedly attacking a police officer. He was released after meeting his bail requirements.

In a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Zamani described his time in jail as a terrible experience.

He said, “Whatever story you were told is not what happened. The case is over now, so I can talk about it. I spent six days in jail. I didn’t get preferential treatment. It’s prison, so there was no preferential treatment. I’m not talking about a police cell.

“I have seen a lot of celebrities and public figures who went to police cells come out to brag as if they went through some sht. If you’ve never been to prison, you ain’t seen sht yet. I can’t explain it. It’s a different world. I don’t pray for my worst enemy to experience it. You have to be careful out there because mistakes can take you there. There are so many innocent people in there. It wasn’t a good experience.

“But I made friends in there. We hung out, chatted. It’s a different institution of higher learning.”

According to Ice Prince, he was merely joking with the police officer he is accused of assaulting. He left the scene when the officer got into his car during a stop-and-search.
