Music Video Director Clarence Peters Reveals His Father Shina Peters Mistakes Had An Impact On Him

 Renowned music video director Clarence Peters recently opened up about how his father, legendary juju musician Shina Peters' past mistakes had an impact on him....

During an interview on the WithChude podcast, Clarence revealed that his father's actions, particularly how he treated women and failed to protect his mother, actress Clarion Chukwura, have deeply influenced him.

He shared that his father's mistakes have made him conscious of not repeating the same errors in his own relationships and acknowledged that while he has tried to avoid following in his father's footsteps, he has made some of the same mistakes himself.....

“My dad scr#wed up, I mean using the word scr#wed up is me putting it lightly because his colleagues blackballed my mum and she was already dealing with a lot of trauma from when she was young.”

“In making ‘Inside Life’, I discovered some of the things I did not know. Episode 5 of ‘Inside Life’ is written by my cousin who went through that and so my mum went through the script and started crying because she also went through the same thing.

“We keep forgetting that it was a different time. My mum told me recently that he has been with women, drove some of amazing cars, stayed in the best houses, and hotels, and he has had money. He is approaching his 70s, death is certain because we are all going to die.

“All he can do now is pray to God to forgive him and that is all that he has and so we have had that conversation. My father has made mistakes that I have also made, so I can’t judge him. I can relate to the mistakes that my father has made.

“As much as I was raised by my mother, one of my greatest fears was not to be what my father was to the opposite s#x. I have been a version of that, so I am not a saint. So I cannot judge him. I would like to but I am not in the position to.”
