<p data-start="89" data-end="263">Renowned music video director <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Clarence-Peters"><strong>Clarence Peters</strong></a> has spoken about the challenges of growing up as the child of famous parents, revealing that it caused him<strong> significant trauma</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="265" data-end="552">Clarence, the son of Afro-Juju legend <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Shina-Peters"><strong>Shina Peters</strong></a> and Nollywood icon <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Clarion-Chukwurah"><strong>Clarion Chukwurah</strong></a>, admitted in a recent interview that he struggled with his parents’ fame and did not like being in the limelight. This discomfort shaped his career choices, leading him to remain behind the scenes.</p>
<p data-start="554" data-end="860">He explained that the trauma from his upbringing contributed to his struggles with <strong>impostor syndrome</strong>—a condition characterized by self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness despite success. Due to this, he initially avoided attaching his name to his work, even as his music videos gained global recognition.</p>
<p data-start="862" data-end="990"><em data-start="862" data-end="979">“I grew up with famous parents, and some of my trauma stemmed from them being in the limelight—I didn’t like that,”</em> he said.</p>
<p data-start="992" data-end="1270">Clarence recounted how a close friend and colleague eventually tricked him into putting his name on his work.</p>
<p data-start="992" data-end="1270"><em data-start="1102" data-end="1255">“I didn’t even want to put my name on music videos, but a friend I used to edit with insisted on adding it, and there was nothing I could do about it,”</em> he revealed.</p>
<p data-start="1272" data-end="1523">Further reflecting on his journey, he admitted that self-doubt plagued him in his early years, making him question his talent. However, he credited his mother, Clarion Chukwurah, for believing in his abilities before he even recognized them himself.</p>
<p data-start="1525" data-end="1748"><em data-start="1525" data-end="1736">“I didn’t think I had the personality for it. I wasn’t even sure about my talent. The only person who was certain—even before I started exhibiting it—was my mother. She firmly believed that it’s in the genes,”</em> he added.</p>
