Why I Performed At APC Convention – Ice Prince
Nigerian music artiste Ice Prince has responded to criticism over his performance at the 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.
He faced backlash after appearing at the political event, with critics arguing that he should have focused on speaking out about insecurity and economic hardship in the country instead of performing at a partisan gathering.
Some social media users also accused him of supporting the ruling party by attending the convention.
Reacting during an episode of the Black Box podcast, Ice Prince explained that his decision to perform was based on a personal relationship with the APC National Chairman.
He said, “Who booked me for that event? My uncle – Nentawe Yilwatda who is the APC Chairman. He is not just a random person to me. He is my real uncle.”
He maintained that the performance was not politically motivated but purely based on family and professional connection.
