I Built My N110m House on Mortgage – Dr. Sid

Popular Afro hip-hop singer, Dr. Sid (real name is Sidney Esiri), looked quite smart in a pair of red leather Versace sneakers when our correspondent approached him for an interview at a location in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The word ‘Surulere’ – a slang word of sorts borrowed from Yoruba – and the title of his latest hit song was boldly inscribed on the black T-shirt he had on.

The word is also an indication that Dr. Sid, who actually cut his teeth as a back-up vocalist for Da Trybe Records, has indeed come a long way on the music scene.

A dental surgeon by training and the son of the late actor, Justus Esiri, the singer’s foray into music began 10 years ago when he was an undergraduate of the University of Ibadan.

BON/IBAN Bans Several Artists Including 2face, D'banj, Iyanya, Because of COSON

For quite some time now, the Copyrights Society of Nigeria (COSON), has been harassing the Broadcasting Society of Nigeria (BON) and the Independent Broadcasting Society of Nigeria, IBAN, insisting that they pay royalties for playing the songs of Nigerian artists. COSON has dragged several radio and TV stations to court, demanding millions, sometimes billions of Naira in royalty.

Well, it seems IBAN and BON have had enough. Two days ago, they announced the ban of all Nigerian artists registered with COSON. Meaning that they ordered the immediate stop to the airing of songs of artists who are COSON members.

The artists include 2face Idibia, D'banj, Onyeka Onwenu, Iyanya, Banky W, Flavour, Ice Prince, Dr Sid, Olamide, 9ice, M.I, eLDee, Ruggedman, Wizkid, Asa, Waje, Omawumi and several others.
