“I now live in the U.S. I left Nigeria last year after I got a job with a company in New York that offered me an opportunity to move to the States and live anywhere in the U.S.

“I’ve family in Houston, my best friend lives here so Houston, Texas was an easy choice. And that is it. I’ve been working here for the last one year and a half,” he said.

Following a fall out of the partners at Mo’ Hits Records, D’banj and Don Jazzy in 2012, Dr Sid signed on to Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
