In a tweet on his official account, Ice Prince said new artists should avoid wearing excessive hats and shades as they promote their music.
The ‘Oleku’ crooner stated that it is also important for them to promote their faces, as this helps the audience recognize and remember them.
He pointed out that when musicians wear shades, dreadlocks, and caps, it becomes difficult to distinguish one artist from another.
See the tweet below;
Dear New artiste : In your Music videos, Pls Wear less hats and shades on your come up… as you promote your music, promote your face too… no be like that your guy wey wear shades, dreadlocks and cap on top coz yall end up looking thesame… can’t tell who’s who, Let me be…

@itzbasito: “Most of the new Male artists coming out lately don’t take branding seriously, everybody just walking around with dreadlocks looking like 10 other nlggas on TV. When Rema and Omah lay came out, you could describe them with their hairstyle to someone and they already know who you’re talking about.
Same thing with Odumodublvck with red cap now, that’s how you stand out.”
@joemijoseph: “Was just telling this to some of my guys a few days ago. Nowadays most artists name’s are more popular than their faces and I don’t think it’s great for their brand”
