“Any Guy That Eats Breakfast Is a Barbie” — Ice Prince Shares Weight Loss Secret!

“Any Guy That Eats Breakfast Is a Barbie” — Ice Prince Shares Weight Loss Secret!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Nigerian rapper Ice Prince has stirred online conversations after revealing that ditching breakfast was a key part of his recent weight loss journey — and jokingly tagged men who still eat in the morning as “Barbies.”

What He Said

• Speaking in a recent interview, the “Oleku” hitmaker shared:
  “I don’t do breakfast anymore. Any guy still eating breakfast is a Barbie. That’s part of how I dropped weight.”
• The comment, though made in jest, sparked immediate reactions across social platforms — with some calling it humorous, while others labelled it unnecessary gender stereotyping.

Why It Matters

• Ice Prince’s transformation has been noticeable in recent public appearances, prompting fans to ask for his fitness routine.
• His comment, however, raises conversations around body image, dieting habits, and masculinity in Nigerian pop culture.
• The “Barbie” term — often associated with femininity — drew debate over toxic expectations of male behaviour in fitness.

What to Watch

• Further reactions from fans, fitness experts, or celebrities — particularly on the culture of fasting and meal-skipping for weight loss.
• Whether Ice Prince follows up with a more detailed routine or nutrition advice.
• Broader dialogue around male body image and how male celebrities influence public health trends.
