Mavin Records
artiste and Surulere crooner, Dr Sid made headlines in May 2013, when
he debuted his multi-million Naira home in Lekki, Lagos.
In a recent interview with Punch he reveals the house worth N110million, was built on
mortgage.
On his lekki mansion: “I 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 says.
On his relationship
with Simi 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.”
On his decision to
stick with Mavin Records: “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.”
On his debut movie
role: “I have always told my dad
(Late actor Justus Esiri) I wanted to act, but he would tell me not to worry
that once he found the right script, I would come on board. But when he heard I
was starring in a Nollywood movie he felt proud of me. The movie was shot in
2012 before he died.”
It is really commendable that Dr Sid is being open about the
means by which he bought his house. Fans often complain that celebrities set
unrealistic examples with their lavish lifestyles so it is great to understand
the details behind it.
