"I Wish I Never Learned to Roll" — Ice Prince Opens Up About Cannabis Habit and the Struggles of Quitting

Popular Nigerian rapper Ice Prince Zamani is opening up in a refreshingly honest way about his ongoing battle with smoking — and it's striking a chord with fans who have faced similar struggles.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Konnected Minds podcast, the "Oleku" crooner didn’t hold back as he revealed that his ability to roll cannabis by himself has become one of the biggest barriers to quitting. According to him, “I don’t let anyone roll for me... I wish I had never learned it.”

“If I hadn’t learned it, I would probably smoke with moderation or not even smoke at all,” he said candidly, reflecting on how what seemed like a harmless skill has deeply affected his lifestyle.
