In a brief interview, conducted at TV Continental in Lagos, Shina Peters tells us ‘…I want to see someone like 2face to be very successful because everything is just name. But deep down, I’m sorry to say this, he’s empty and it’s not good for our artistes…

deep down, he is empty? Yet he has been able to pour the thing into how many women? How can that one be empty?

but wetin bros Shina get? ,make him go sit down jare.

his bastard child is all over the place wreaking havoc and he talks of a young man making a decent living empty. yeye

Let me hear word, Shina Peters. What makes Tuface empty?

when will these old fools learn, imagine SSP calling Tuface empty, wetin bros get self

lol . . . . .I have a feeling he  might be taken out of context.

But jeez. . .of all the people to be calling someone empty.

He of the ''Sikira Sikira , oya werewere kiyamosa. . .'' fame.

Epic Joke.

Look at old school abusing new school, wow if i was 2 face i'll employ him so that he'll be playing band for me. Btw do we still use bands apart from churches??

Here we go again. The younger ones who have no idea about History of Music in Nigeria having a go at an established and almost Legendary musician.

Shina is been around for a like forever, when people like him talk I will think he's got a few valid reason for saying so.  

Shina have had the women, the life, the fame and what not so when he is speaking I think people need to ask why is he saying that.  Pardon me if am wrong, but is it not Tuface that have 5 "baby mamas" or something? NOt to take anything away from Tuface, he is considered talented and I respect that too.

I do not know the in and out of the interview, so if anyone have a proper link to the interview then one can try and see what shina is saying. I have a feeling things may have been lifted out of context. Or Shina is translating his thoughts across very poorly (English was never his strong point)


Funny how a few people described him as irrelevant. This guy in a documentary on Music in Africa is labelled as one of those who shaped music in Nigeira from the 90s era. (Even though he's been influential from the 60s and 70s, but that one na another story)

Kettle calling the pot black. oops

The fact that SSP has a glory past does not give him the right to call another artist empty. What would have happen to his career of those ahead of him said the same about him, just saying

Oh we know all about Shina well well. . .We know about how Sammy, his all time benefactor, used to carry his tapes everywhere  to try to get him a lift and the music was widely derided.

The man was a one album hit wonder jor.

Rotfl!! That's his song? And Tuface is supposed to be the ''empty'' one. Lmao!
I remember the Sikira Sikira part. The man is a joke!

are u feeling this too baba eeeeeeeeee
somebody say , why not shut ur Zap. up shina

remember too baba is not only nigerian pride but african pride
mind you because 2face no send you ooo, but that one no mean say him no dey wish u well ooo

if u have no money for bleachng cream anymore
why not meet him, he will be of help to you.

if its true that ssp said this,shows that he is the most emptiest man in naija, old cargo lol

Sina's limited knowlege of the language could be at play.

Senility must be setting in on the "Grammar nor be my language" crooner . . .

I haven't read the full interview but I ain't interested either - what has Shina got to tell me?? The fact that he can't bother to speak proper English?? That he had to lick Abacha's a[/i]s[i]s to make sleazy money?? Or that he keeps sowing his wild oats all over the place??

He's long dead and forgotten and Posterity does not even have him in its good books . . .

I dunno why some artistes just don't understand the need for mutual respect . . . yeah I have a peck in my eye but you've got a log in yours - deal with it.

2face might even be a dunce but it doesn't lie in Shina's mouth to say it . . . how is he any better??

SSP shouldn't even talk when musicians of substance are gathered . . . the only music legends in Nigeria are Fela, KSA, Obey, IK Dairo . . . and I know I'm forgetting some but SSP ain't one of them.

Very true.

Although I don't support him calling tuface "empty"

It must be a problem with the way he expressed his views . . . you can fault him for not using the right words or being arrogant, but you can't knock this man's music skills.

I don't know if what he's talking about is musical content, he trashes 2face on that level . . . he comes from a generation of Nigerian music where artistes used to actually make their own music, play their own instruments and tour like their lives depended on it.

SSP must understand the dichotomy between 'their' music and 'our' music. He can't expect 'our' music(ians) to have the same quality as 'theirs'.

Bamsyle.:

SSP invented a genre . . . what more doe he need to do to be considered a legend in your books.


Yeah, Amy Winehouse is a junkie, MJ is prolly a child molester, Kels is the urinator . . . does that make em any less talented??
I don't care if he was Sergeant Roger or if he was Abacha's first born, he was good at what he did.

whatever shina peters meant by 2face being empty couldnt be out of comtext.
perhap if d whole interview was posted we will understand what he really meant by that phrase.
as 4 those calling shina peters name, they have suddenly 4gotten how this guy 2 us all by storm in d 90s even though he's been relevant since d 70s,
God, such an individual deserve alot of respect.

This is an opportunity for you to have a home close to the prophet and also to invest, buy into Garden of Eden Estate, Simawa behind Redemption Camp at very cheap price of N380,000.00 Go here to see pictures https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-521891.0.html

Maybe . . . but whether he expressed it in Ogbomosho or Ijesha dialect is not the issue here . . . he said it and HE HAD NO RIGHT to say it.

but you can't knock this man's music skills.

Christ . . . which music skills?? He might have used a 500-man band but that doesn't add ish to his skills . . . SSP ain't a good singer by all standards - always singing off-key and has never had a refined voice . . . don't be deceived by what you hear through his customized mics/speakers . . . his engineers are his saving grace . . . have you ever heard him sing live?? Peops who know him wella would tell you how horrible he sounds.

If you do your search well, SSP started out with Segun Adewale . . . the latter was the star of the duo but SSP just got lucky . . . SSP had such a wacky voice folks said he must have used jazz . . .  

I don't know if what he's talking about is musical content, he trashes 2face on that level . . . he comes from a generation of Nigerian music where artistes used to actually make their own music, play their own instruments and tour like their lives depended on it.

His musical content?? His was the usual "shikishiki" and all the vulgar/lewd nonsense that prevailed during that era . . . technically speaking, he had good engineers and a nice band and that made up for his flaws.

Such an Individual deserves alot of respect right? . . .GOOD !!!

Mind you that, it's that same 'individual' that is sayin 2face of, not only Nigeria, but ALL Africa is empty, how does that sound to you? . . .I guess SSP is just tryin to seek attention since no one hears from him anymore jor.

may the guy sees what you don't see, at least he should tell us why 2face is empty.

Now, daz funny.

I don't care if he was Sergeant Roger or if he was Abacha's first born, he was good at what he did.

Which genre?? A fusion of afro[/i]beat (Fela takes the credit there) and juju (the likes of KSA, Ebenezer Obey, Dele Abiodun and even a young Micho Ade take the cake there)??

He was just trying to fuse already established genres but ended up with nada.

I ain't even talking about his character only . . . I 'ont care if he's a serial [i]r[/i]apis[i]t, music-wise he's a flop . . . and I mean that with every fibre of my being.

ishit4body:

deep down, he is empty? Yet he has been able to pour the thing into how many women? How can that one be empty?

What he was tryna say is that tuface is NOW empty, status post pouring "the thing" into so many different women. As in he used to be full, but that he is NOW empty.

I never thought I could agree with SSP on anything. The lad is so, so empty
