Nigerian music legend Shina Peters has set social media buzzing after sharing a remarkable story on ‘The Honest Bunch‘ about achieving incredible milestones from a very young age.
His journey highlights not only his immense talent but also his resilience and determination. During the interview, he revealed:
“I started my career at the age of 10. I bought my first car at 13. I had my first child at 14. I built my first house at 16. By 16 and 17, I was running to court here and there, three cases in a single day. And 65% of my fans are Igbo, not Yoruba.”
Not everyone was convinced. Some social media users questioned the plausibility of his claims, suggesting parts might be exaggerated for clout.

Addressing fans who urge him to release new music, Peters explained that he doesn’t just go to the studio on demand. “The atmosphere has to be right, and sometimes I don’t even know what to sing,” he said, offering insight into his creative process.
Shina Peters’ story is more than a biography, it’s a lesson in perseverance, ambition, and following your own path. His life proves that age is no barrier to greatness.
