"V.I.P" is a song by Nigerian hip hop recording artist Ice Prince. It was released on April 24, 2013, by Chocolate City. The song was originally intended to be included on Ice Prince's second studio album Fire of Zamani (2013), but was ultimately removed from the final track-listing due to reasons that haven't been made public. It peaked at 26 on Afribiz's Top 100 chart.

The song debuted at number 9 on MTV Base's Official Naija Top 10 chart from July 6 through July 13, 2013. It entered the music countdown alongside "Personally".

Upon its release, the song was met with mixed reviews from music critics. A writer for Jaguda said: "One first listen, VIP sounds eerily similar to Aboki. If I didn’t see the name, I would’ve thought it was a remix sorta."

Aribaba, another writer for Jaguda gave the song 5 out of 10 stars, adding: "My first thought (as well as that of many others) was that, this song sounds just like Aboki. Now it’s one thing to “stick with the same style”, but it’s another thing to photocopy and song and change a few things about it. I’m an Ice Prince fan, but I must say I was kinda disappointed. Paper chasing tactics I guess. Now with that being said, the song will probably still do well, and as a stand-alone song it’s actually good. The beat is solid from ChopStix, and Ice price style stays the same (obviously) and the chorus is nice, just like with Aboki. It’s just not fresh and doesn’t get one excited."

The music video for "V.I.P", directed by Clarence Peters at Dream Studios, was uploaded onto YouTube on June 21, 2013. It ran for a total length of 3 minutes and 17 seconds. M.I, Dr SID, N6, Phyno, Lynxxx, Iyanya, Emma Nyra, Pryse, GRIP Boiz, and Illbliss made cameo appearances in the video. A behind the scenes video shoot for "V.I.P" was uploaded onto YouTube on June 11, 2013.
