‘Get Him Good Songwriters’ - Daniel Regha Criticises King Ochacho’s Son’s Music Career

Controversial social media commentator Daniel Regha has criticised the music career of Ice King, the son of businessman King Ochacho, questioning the singer’s songwriting, public reception and decision to pursue an album.

In a lengthy post, Regha urged King Ochacho to use his resources to provide his son with professional songwriting support if he is serious about developing a career in music.

Regha argued that while Ice King may have potential, he has yet to produce work that, in his view, demonstrates that he is a major emerging talent.

He also criticised influencers who, according to him, portray the young artiste as a lyrical genius instead of offering honest feedback that could help him improve.

“Maybe he has potential, just maybe, but he hasn’t done anything to show it,” Regha wrote.

He further questioned the decision to release an album without first having a hit single capable of attracting wider attention.

Regha said the Nigerian music industry already has many aspiring artistes and argued that continually promoting artistes without sufficient development could affect the quality of Afrobeats.

The commentator also addressed influencers who accept promotional opportunities involving the artiste, saying that not every available gig should be accepted and that genuine guidance sometimes requires telling people uncomfortable truths.

Regha suggested that Ice King could instead concentrate on his education or explore content creation. However, he said that if the young artiste remains committed to music, he should first seek proper guidance and work with people who can help develop his abilities.

He also questioned a lyric from one of Ice King’s songs, “I am almost on my peak,” arguing that the statement was difficult to understand coming from an artiste who is still at the beginning of his career.

According to Regha, the situation highlights the importance of guidance and honest criticism in developing young talent.

He concluded by suggesting that financial influence can sometimes make people reluctant to give honest opinions.

“If not for money, a lot of people will be saying the truth. No offense,” he wrote.

Wizkid’s Son Champz, Ochacho’s Son Ice King Clash Over Music

A growing music rivalry has emerged between Champz, son of Nigerian music star Wizkid, and Ice King Ochacho, son of billionaire businessman King Ochacho, with both young artistes trading words over their musical abilities.

The exchange gained attention after Ice King addressed Champz during a livestream amid reports of tension between the two youngsters.

Ice King appeared to take a swipe at Champz, using the phrase “Once a puppy, always a puppy” while also claiming that efforts had been made to resolve their differences.

“We tried to make peace, but he said no,” Ice King reportedly said during the livestream, before adding, “Nobody is better than the Iceking.”

Champz has now responded, making it clear that he does not consider himself to be in competition with Ice King.

In a lengthy response, Champz accused Ice King of trying to gain relevance by associating himself with Champz and his father, Wizkid. He also dismissed Ice King’s music and insisted that he has already established himself as an artiste in his own right.

Champz pointed to his growing fanbase, the performance of his music and his recent album, which he said reached No. 1 on Apple Music. He also referenced his ongoing tour as evidence of his progress in the music industry.

“I am not in competition with you, Ice King,” Champz said, while insisting that he would not continue responding to the young artiste.

He further warned Ice King to stop seeking attention from him and said he should focus on developing his own musical career rather than comparing himself with other artistes.

Champz also acknowledged that his father might not be pleased with his decision to respond, but said he felt the need to address the situation.

The exchange has since generated reactions online, with fans and social media users weighing in on the growing rivalry between the sons of two prominent Nigerian personalities.

Ice King, whose real name is Shedrack Mohammed Adah, is the son of businessman King Mohammed Adah, popularly known as Ochacho. The 13-year-old artiste has been building his music career and released his debut EP, I’m Back, in 2025.

Champz is the son of Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Wizkid and has also been pursuing music, putting the young artiste in the spotlight because of his famous family background.

For now, the exchange appears to have intensified the competition between the two rising artistes, with neither side showing signs of backing down.
