Afro-Juju icon Sir Shina Peters recently reflected on how sudden stardom dramatically altered his teenage years.
He also dismissed the possibility of making a complete comeback to the music industry, despite widespread fan requests.
During an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast aired Monday, the seasoned artist shared how his rise to fame was swift and unexpected, catapulting him to the forefront of Nigeria’s music scene almost instantly.
He revealed, “I embarked on my musical journey at just 10 years old. By 13, I had purchased my first car, welcomed my first child at 14, and constructed my first home by 16.”

Despite these remarkable milestones, Peters made it clear that he has no intentions of fully re-entering the music world.
He cited a disconnect between his artistic style and the current music environment, which makes it challenging for him to create fresh material.
“About 65 percent of my audience are Igbos, not Yorubas. They keep urging me to release new tracks, but I don’t just head to the studio. The vibe there doesn’t inspire me. Honestly, I’m unsure what to sing,” the musician explained.
