Coming barely 48 hours after his initial 'hate' post on social media, Kenyan rapper, Mwafreeka Mwaf, has a U-turn to clear the air concerning his unguarded remarks about Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince.Read It HERE

In the post, he talked about not knowing that Ice Prince had a million followers on Twitter, Nigeria's accent been referred to as the "African Accent" and the pretense of his homeland artistes.

"Just realized in the past few days that Ice Prince is a MEGA superstar. No disrespect but I didn't know. Anyway my comment on him seems to have made headlines in Nigeria. Funny shit is they describing my songs as chart topping, heheheeheh.

"To quote Chief Kamachi "I'm a Underground rapper, my jewels is invisible"

"I have never had a hit single in Kenya even my collabo with K'NAAN only topped the charts in South Africa.

"Anyway to make things clear, I respect Ice Prince hustle as a rapper. 1 million people must be following him for a reason. What I meant by realistic dreams is I would understand if he rapped about cars like Range Rovers, Audis, Benzes, BMWs. Am sure he can easily afford those and be able to drive them in Nigeria."

He however said the Bugatti Ice Prince was rapping was far-fetched and will not fit right on the Nigerian roads.

"I just feel the Bugatti dream is far fetched. With its very low center of gravity, does Nigeria have the roads to drive that shit on?? No disrespect to Nigeria but I think only South Africa has the infrastructure for such cars."

He further clarified that his thoughts in the quest to 'learn' about Nigeria from Ice Prince.

"Also with 1 million followers, I think Ice Prince has earned enough mandate to TRULY express himself on other stuff other than girls and cars. (There's nothing wrong with rhyming about girls BTW ;))

"Still I would want to learn more about Nigeria through his music. One thing I respect about Nigeria is they are proud of their accent, whether in Kenya or America, a Nigerian speaks in his accent and proudly. Nigerians are so proud that even Hollywood treats the Nigerian accent as the "African accent"

"In Kenya as soon as we enter the plane we develop a foreign accent etc. So with such proud people I think Ice Prince or any successful African artist doesn't need to copy paste the American swag.

"My thoughts!!"
