“65 per cent of my fans are Igbos, not Yorubas. My fans are demanding that I give them new music, but I don’t just go to the studio. I can’t go to the studio; the atmosphere is not conducive for me. I don’t know what to sing,” the music legend added.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Clarence Peters sat down with Chude Jide-Onwo, a Nigerian journalist and media mogul, to discuss his conception and relationship with his father, Shina Peters, and mother Clarion Chukwura Abiola.

According to him, his father treated his mother poorly and as much as he would not want to judge him, he has also made such mistakes.

He stated that he has become a version of his father toward women, and so he knows what it felt like to be in his father's shoes.

In Clarence's words:

"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 and try not to be my father."

In another clip, he spoke about how he went from shooting about three music videos in a week to being pushed aside by the new generation of Afrobeats artists. Another interesting subject was how his mum almost aborted his pregnancy.
