Nigerian rap maestro, Panshak Zamani popularly known as Ice Prince, has blamed colleague and former label mate, Jesse Jagz for the split of Choc Boiz.
Speaking in a recent interview with Echoo Room, the Superstar crooner said Jesse Jagz should have done more to keep the collective together.
Choc Boiz is a music collective comprising MI Abaga, Jesse Jagz and Ice Prince which split after the last two left Chocolate City to form their own record labels; Jagz Nation and Super Cool Cat.
Ice Prince admitted that Jesse had been supportive to him, but still decided to hold him accountable for the rift that tore apart the Choc Boiz crew.
He noted that the blame often lands on M.I. due to his role as the big brother, but he insisted that Jesse should have shouldered the responsibility, and ‘taken one for the team’.
The rapper said the primary reason they established their own independent platforms, was so that they would be able to groom young artistes in the industry.
In response to the host’s question, Ice Prince said; “What happened to Choc Boiz? I would say it is growth.
“Then I do not know if it was a miscalculation or whatever but one thing that we did back then was we go got to a point where we thought that people like M, people like Jesse, people like Ice, should start up their own companies so we can allow younger artistes come in the game.
“If you remember, there was a time when Chocolate City started looking for young artistes, you know, young artistes like Koker, Ckay, Blaqbonez, had to come in. Now those artistes cannot be sharing a budget with you know that is what it was.
“The person that’s responsible for not putting this Choc Boiz Collective musically together is Jesse Jagz. I feel he needs to put more ginger for it to happen.
“Jesse you have to take one for the team, bro. A lot of times the blames always get pointed to M.I. because he is the big bro, he has to take the blame. But Jesse you have to take one for the team. It’s your fault my G. You need Jesse than he is available for the team right now.”

Ice prince,whether you blame anybody or not,the did has been done and it has passed,what matters now is the future.but you ice prince you are doing well for yourself
Blame game won’t stop anything. Better to think about how to move forward,rather than dissipate energy in who did what and how it was done.
Do not blamed anybody because you never know that reason that makes him to act so
My dear never put blame on any body. God will eventually help you too
There is a saying that, if it meant to be, it will be so never force and blame anyone

Ice prince should forget it, even though there was a split my belief is everything happens for good, If it isn’t for your own good it’s for someone else good
It is normal to try to blame someone when things go wrong but we rarely blame ourselves even though we’ve been part of the whole show, The way to go is to try to take responsibility when things go wrong because we are part of it
This is so surprising such problem use to happen in this world so we have to take heart and pity him. Tomorrow he can rise again to correct his error. This only has teach him life
Is not something new that a group break up, even established singing group break up all around the world.
