Everybody loves Ice Prince? Well Ice Prince ‘lovers’ must be uber shy as the turn out for the rapper’s debut album launch was far from impressive.
However, hundreds of fans still trickled into the Expo Hall of the Eko Hotels and Suites on Sunday, October 9, 2011 to witness the much talked about ‘Everybody Loves Ice Prince‘ or #ELI album launch. The show actually started four hours late, but the delay did not in anyway dampen the expectation of the night as eager fans waited and waited and waited.
The crowd in the regular stand must have been pleased to hear co-host IK Osakioduwa tell them the VVIP section was accessible to those who wanted to occupy the free seats. Apparently, there was a huge void that needed to be occupied. That however just created more anticipation for the show to kick off.
Ice Prince, the man of the night seemed to keep his ‘cool’ all through the show as he blended pretty well with the live band which consisted of his Chocolate City label mates M.I, on the keyboards and Jesse Jagz on the drums. His costumes were very trendy and urban, each gear he rocked stood out.
Other performers, 2face, D’banj, Wizkid, Naeto C, D’prince, Ara, Bez, Tiwa Savage, Samklef, BrymO, w4, oLamide, Davido added the extra spice to liven up the show. South African rapper HHP and Ghanaian tongue-twister Sarkodie were also well cheered by the crowd which barely filled the hall.
DJ of the night was Beat FM and Choc City in-house jockey DJ Caise while the hosts were IK Osakioduwa and actress Funke Akindele who didn’t fail to give the guests a taste of ‘Jenifa’.
