Afro-Juju icon, Sir Shina Peters, has shocked fans with a rare confession about the bold stunt that helped him regain public sympathy after his fallout with Prince Adekunle’s band. Speaking on The Honest Bunch Podcast, the veteran singer revealed that he deliberately faked insanity to shift public perception during one of the toughest times in his career.
He recounted how his record label and media team devised the unusual plan — from braiding his hair for days to wearing torn clothes and acting like a madman in public markets and construction sites. Unknown to many, the scenes were strategically staged to make him appear misunderstood rather than greedy.
According to Shina Peters, the stunt worked perfectly, turning criticism into compassion and restoring his reputation as a true entertainer. But the question remains — was it smart survival or calculated deceit?
