Popular Nigerian Juju musician Oluwashina Akanbi Peters, widely known as Sir Shina Peters, has shared details about his early life, revealing that he became a father at just 14.
In a teaser for the upcoming episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the Afrojuju icon reflected on his youthful rise in both life and music, explaining how fame and success came early for him.
“I started my career at the age of 10. I had my first child at 14. I bought my first car at 13. I built my first house at 16,” he said.
Now 67, Sir Shina Peters noted that he has no intention of returning to active music production, explaining that the current creative environment no longer inspires him.
“65 per cent of my fans are Igbos, not Yorubas. My fans are demanding that I give them new music but I don’t just go to the studio. I can’t go to the studio, the atmosphere is not conducive for me. I don’t know what to sing,” he added.
