“I try not to be like my father Shina Peters with women, but I’m not perfect” -Clarence Peters

"I would like to judge my father (Sir Shina Peters) for how he treated my mother (Clarion Chukwurah Abiola), but I’m not in the position to.”“The newer generation of Afrobeats artistes saw me as the old guard and was just like ‘we are tired of you’.”—With these two statements, you already see how deep we got in this conversation.For the very first time ever, the greatest music video director of my generation - who avoids interviews like the plague - opens up like he has never done ever before. He says #WithChude was the only show where he would go this deep or speak this openly. Just after he premiered his revolutionary series ‘Inside Life’ on Netflix, he sat with me and spoke with incredible depth and an open heart. It was well worth the 5-year wait.We also discuss:● How he really feels about how his father treated his mother as the tabloids hit her hard ● Why he learnt to stop judging and forgive his father when he became an adult and had his own relationships ● How his mother resisted the intense pressure to abort him● Why the pressure of being child to two superstars led to impostor syndrome ● The helplessness and fear he experienced as he moved from doing 3 music videos-a-week to the industry ‘rejecting him’● Why he didn’t make his Netflix film ‘Inside Life’ for the world. This was a masterclass - on life, on growth and on how to re-invent yourself after you feel like everything has fallen apart. Please watch or listen to the full 1-hour episode on withChude.com. Let me know your thoughts below. ❤ Hosted on Acast.
