Ice Prince has turned down an endorsement deal from major telecom company Globacom.
Insiders
said during the week, that the rapper was approached with a mouth
watering deal to become the brand’s latest ambassador because of his
recent successes -the release his first official single ‘Oleku‘, his
many local and international awards, and his bestselling debut album
‘Everybody Loves Ice Prince’ in 2011.
But Panshak Zamani doesn’t come cheap. We’re told he’s asking for a whooping sum of $1m (N157,000,000) or no deal.
‘He
was serious, he knows his worth and knows they can afford it so he
turned the deal down‘, our insider at GLO who wants to remain anonymous
said
Most GLO ambassadors are paid within the N10-N20m range,
with D’banj and Psquare being the rare exceptions. Psquare got N240m for
a four year deal
It remains uncertain if GLO is upping the
figures for the Chocolate city rapper. But if they concede to Ice’s
demands, he’ll become the rapper with the biggest endorsement deal ever.
But Ice Prince is cool with that (no pun intended). In the last 20
months, the rapper has become the highest-earning Nigerian rapper, with
revenue sources including concert fees and endorsements (he inked a deal
with LG in 2012) as well as non-music related deals no one is wiling to
talk abou
