Ishaq Yakubu, also known as Prince Ishaq, is a Nigerian writer, creative artist, and internet public figure. His writing explores love, power, identity, and coming of age within contemporary African societies. He writes primarily within the genres of Young Adult and Coming-of-Age fiction, Romance, and Contemporary African Literature, with a distinctive voice that blends youthful candour, political awareness, and cultural heritage.

He is the author of the Sarauniyya series, a body of work that has steadily woven itself into Abuja’s contemporary literary and youth culture, marking his emergence as a significant young voice in Nigerian literature.

Beyond fiction, Ishaq is also a poet, known for a style influenced by lyrical maximalism. His work frequently returns to the theme of love — not merely as an ideal, but as a responsibility shaped by consequence, memory, and risk.

Alongside his literary career, Ishaq maintains a public presence under the moniker SuperstarIshaq across platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, where his documentation of youth culture, style, and luxury life in Abuja exists in conversation with the worlds he explores in his writing.

Prince Ishaq’s latest publication, Gambo Santuraki Street, marks a deliberate expansion of his literary scope, signalling the beginning of a broader narrative universe that bridges romance, political consciousness, and moral complexity within the Northern Nigerian space.

Ishaq lives and writes in Nigeria.
