“I Have More Evergreen Songs Than Michael Jackson” – Shina Peters Boasts
Veteran Nigerian afro-juju musician, Sir Shina Peters, has once again stirred conversations across the entertainment scene with his bold claim that he has more evergreen songs than Michael Jackson.
Speaking in a recent interview, the legendary singer noted that his music continues to remain relevant across generations, maintaining its unique appeal and cultural significance in Nigeria and beyond. According to Peters, while he acknowledges Michael Jackson’s global influence, his own records have stood the test of time in Africa and continue to attract both young and old audiences.
“Michael Jackson was a great performer, no doubt. But when it comes to timeless music that people still dance to at parties and events decades later, I have more evergreen songs,” Shina Peters confidently declared.
The “Ace” crooner emphasized that songs like ‘Afro Juju,’ ‘Experience,’ and ‘Shinamania’ are still relevant today, proving his lasting impact on the African music industry. His statement has sparked mixed reactions among fans and music lovers, with some praising his confidence and others debating the comparison to the late King of Pop.
Despite the controversy, many agree that Shina Peters remains a pioneer who shaped the Nigerian music landscape and introduced a distinct blend of juju and afrobeat that continues to inspire new artists.
