- The allegations include Ice Prince's failure to ensure Jamal's health and well-being, exposing him to inappropriate content, and neglecting his educational needs
Nigerian rapper Panshak Henry Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince Zamani, has been accused of neglecting his responsibilities as a father by his baby mama, Abi.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, Abi recounted her struggles with Ice Prince, alleging that he has been neglecting their 12-year-old son, Jamal.
She posted: “I have tried to be civil @iceprincezamani, I've tried to be the bigger person and let things play out, but it's been 12 years, and we are still on the same B.S! No child deserves this !!!"
Explaining her point, she recounted how things began to go south between them. However, despite not being together and him emotionally gaslighting her, she did not care because her child's sanity mattered to her.
She explained, “Things went sour after I stood in as surety for Panshak during his police case. He left me at the court and took a job out of state during his bail hearing, leaving me to be remanded since I had stood in for him.
“I was scared, and rightfully so Instead of apologizing sincerely, all he did was gaslight me, as if he didn't feel he had done anything wrong”
According to Abi, Ice Prince has failed to provide for Jamal's welfare, leaving her to bear the burden alone. She claimed that despite her efforts to create a stable environment for their child, Ice Prince has been inconsistent in his support, often leaving Jamal without necessities like clean clothes and provisions.
“Panshak couldn't even ensure his child had clean clothes, water, or the provisions needed for a new school term. But when it's time to post videos of his kid online, he's all too eager.”
Abi's post highlighted several instances of Ice Prince's alleged neglect, including failing to ensure Jamal's health and well-being. She shared that Jamal has been struggling with asthma, which she believes was triggered by the poor conditions at his school.
“Jamal would fall sick at school, and I'd have to argue and cuss before his father would arrange for someone to take him to see a doctor.
I've been vocal about changing Jamal's school because of the neglect there. A year after he started, he developed asthma. Through my findings, I realised the hostel walls had mold, which likely triggered his condition.” she added.
She also alleged that Ice Prince has been exposing Jamal to inappropriate content and has failed to provide a stable and nurturing environment for their child. She revealed, “Or was it the time his father's nephew used my child's phone, and I found x-rated names saved in the contacts? That's what my child is being exposed to under his father's care.”
Finally, she expressed the result of Ice Prince's alleged neglect, which was at the expense of her child's health.
Lamenting, she stated, “This morning, my child, his child, woke up in a worse condition, and his hostel master called Panshak's PA, who instructed that they take him to the hospital -all without my knowledge. I decided to take some essentials to him, which is how I found out.
By the time I got to his hostel at 4 p.m., they were just making plans to take a sick child, a frail child to the hospital! He is just 12, Panshak!"
At the time of press, Ice Prince has not publicly responded to the allegations.
Nigerians react to Ice Prince's baby mama's claims
Here are some reactions below;
@theladycalled_kimani commented: ‘90% of baby mums go through this.......hence why i said if i don't get married in this life i'm not having kids. There's enough kids in dis world, if there's no fatherly figure who's my husband, i ain't starting that journey at all. It takes a whole lot to raise a child. It's too much stress on one parent especially in situations like this.”
