Majority of Sir Shina Peters' Fanbase Hails from Igbo, Not Yoruba Ethnicity
Despite enduring numerous legal battles in his youth, his unwavering devotion to music and trust in divine guidance propelled him forward.

 

Renowned Nigerian music icon, Sir Shina Peters, has shared heartfelt insights about his loyal fanbase.

 

During a candid conversation on “The Honest Bunch” podcast, he revisited his formative years, artistic journey, and the evolving landscape of Nigerian music.

 

The Afro-juju maestro revealed he embarked on his musical path at the tender age of 10, became a father at 14, acquired his first vehicle at 13, and constructed his debut home by 16.

 

He emphasized that even amidst youthful legal struggles, his musical zeal and spiritual conviction remained his driving force.

 

The legendary artist also acknowledged his strong following among Igbo audiences, noting that the majority of his admirers hail from Nigeria’s eastern regions.

 

“Nearly two-thirds of my supporters are Igbo, not Yoruba. They constantly urged me, ‘Create more music for us,’” Peters recalled.

 

Expressing concern about industry changes, Sir Shina criticized how subsequent generations have diluted the artistic foundations he helped establish.

 

He confessed the current studio environment feels uninspiring, calling on Nigerians to prioritize national progress over fleeting entertainment trends.
