The Afro-Juju legend made the revelation during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he opened up about his early life, career journey, and the responsibilities that came with fame at a young age.
According to Shina Peters, his music career began when he was just 10 years old, and his early success quickly translated into financial independence and adult responsibilities. “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,” he said during the interview.
The singer's confession left fans in awe, with many describing his story as both inspiring and unbelievable. Some social media users praised him for achieving so much at such a young age, while others expressed curiosity about how he managed the pressures of early fame and family life.

His energetic performances and unique sound earned him the title of Sir Shina Peters (SSP), a name that has remained iconic in Nigerian music history.
As conversations continue to trend online, fans have commended the veteran for his honesty and resilience, while others have used the story to reflect on the realities of early responsibility and fame in the entertainment industry.
