put a mortgage payment plan in place, based on the savings I had made four
years before I started a career in music. I am still paying for the house. And
by the grace of God, I will get a second one soon. I pay close to N1m a month
and sometimes, more. I am going to do this for the next 25 years and I am not
ashamed to say it,” he said. Continue..
In the interview he praised Wande Coal for leaving Mavin
Records but expressed his distatste at the habit of some artists leaving a
record label and later talking bad about the label.
"I am happy and honoured to be signed onto Mavin
Records. I have a lot of respect for Wande Coal. He made a brave move and I
wish him all the best. But I will not support anyone bad mouthing the label.
With regards to Mavin Records deal, Don Jazzy has given me the opportunity to
leave whenever I want to, but I won’t leave and start saying something else.”
With his wedding taking place in July, Dr Sid talked about
his fiancee, Simisola Osomo
"She
understands what she is getting into. My female fans respect me and I also feel
my relationship inspires them in different ways. So I guess that from lust and
attraction it has moved to admiration,”
