Ice Prince, an afrobeat and hip-hop rapper, known for hits like “Oleku” and “Aboki,” has recently been trending online, but not for the reasons you’d expect.
When searching for “Ice Prince” on Google, users have noticed that instead of Ice Prince, Nigerian artist Portable’s profile is showing up in some cases.
This mix-up has sparked a wave of humorous reactions online.
One user joked, “Ice Prince, don sell him Google profile to Portable,” while another added, “Portable now answer Ice Prince, nothing hard for God to do.”
Fans are baffled, with one asking, “Where did Ice Prince go?” Some even speculated that the Google algorithm might be responsible for the mix-up, perhaps due to Portable’s recent public praise of Ice Prince.
Interestingly, this comes shortly after a video of Portable praising Ice Prince at the airport went viral.
In a video shared by Portable’s aide on Instagram, the Zazu crooner was seen embracing the veteran rapper before showering him with praises.
Portable expressed his admiration for Ice Prince, noting his loyalty and contributions to the Nigerian music industry. He acknowledged Ice Prince’s role in paving the way for other artistes like him and hailed him as the “number one.”
Portable, born Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, took the music industry by storm with his unique style and catchy lyrics of “Zazu Zeh” from the late 2021 to early 2022. The song featured Olamide Baddo and Poco Lee.
After Zazu Zeh, the controversial singer and dancer dropped another banger, “I Live in the Zoo,” which left Nigerians with another song to refer to if one, as they say in the streets, want to ‘change it’ for someone.
