This has to be the most embarrassing scandal of recent time in the Nigerian music industry. I mean to throw away all the respect we had for Clarence peters is unimaginable, however, very well deserved after reading this article culled from NET

Clarence is by far the most prominent and consistent music video director Nigeria has ever produced. This man has shot close to 500 music videos, right from his starting days with DJ Tee at ‘The Alliance‘ to setting up his own CAPital Dreams production outfit. Who hasn’t Clarence clicked the record button at?

But he must have been too busy to create an original concept for Ice Prince‘s ‘VIP‘ music video, which was released via YouTube on June 21, 2013. The video, which was shot and directed by Clarence Peters, is a total rip-off of US rap group SlaughterHouse‘s video ‘My life‘ feat Cee Lo Green (released a year earlier on June 20, 2012). 

Not only does Clarence Peters shamelessly copy the major highlights of the video, he goes ahead to steal footage and implement them in Ice Prince’s video.If this was done without SlaughterHouse’s permission, Clarence’s action puts Ice Prince and his record label Chocolate City in BIG trouble. Ice and Choc City should ask him for a refund, they’ll need it if/when Interscope Records (SlaughterHouse’s parent record label) comes knocking with a lawsuit.
