Ice Prince defends APC convention performance due to family ties

Music artist Ice Prince addressed backlash over performing at the 2026 All Progressives Congress national convention. Critics questioned his judgment during Nigeria's escalating insecurity and economic hardship.

In a recent Black Box podcast episode, Ice Prince revealed his uncle Nentawe Yilwatda - the APC National Chairman - personally booked him for the event. 'He is not just a random person to me. He is my real uncle,' the artist explained.

The performance sparked debate about entertainers' roles during national challenges. Some argued artists should speak up against the administration rather than perform at partisan events. Ice Prince's clarification highlights how personal relationships can influence public appearances in Nigerian politics.

Does this change your view on entertainers performing at political events, or should they maintain complete neutrality during national challenges?
