Music video director Clarence Peters revealed that he had repeated many of the mistakes his father, legendary musician Shina Peters made.

He however said due to the changing times and advancements in technology, the consequences weren?t as severe.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, he said the realisation led him to forgive his father without needing to have a conversation about it, marking a turning point in his life around 2014/2015.

He said: ?I made every single mistake my father made. I?m just lucky that time and tech saved me from it being as catastrophic as his own. So, the moment I realised that I forgave him instantly even before we had a conversation. That would be 2014/15. That was when I became an adult. That was when I began my journey into adulthood. I?m still on the journey. You?re always on the journey.?

As the son of Shina Peters and veteran actress Clarion Chukwura, Clarence?s family background is complex.

In a past interview with Chude Jideonwo, he said his mother considered aborting him but changed her mind due to her belief that he was the reincarnation of her father.

Clarence has been candid about the impact of his father?s actions, particularly regarding women and relationships, while he strives to break away from these patterns, he acknowledges his own imperfections and the mistakes he?s made. (The Nation)
