Nigerian singer and former Mo’Hits star Dr Sid has confirmed his relocation to the United States. The singer now joins fellow artiste Banky W, who also relocated to the United States in September.
This move seems to reflect a growing trend among Nigerian entertainers moving abroad for new opportunities. In the recent episode of Garrett Van Tiem’s No Man’s Friend podcast, the ‘Over the Moon’ hit- maker revealed that his move to the US was spurred by a job opportunity from a New Yorkbased company. Dr Sid said, “I now live in the US.
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 US.
I’ve got family in Houston; my best friend lives here, so Houston, Texas, was an easy choice.” The 44-year-old revealed that he has been living and working in the US for the past year and a half, explaining that his current work involves a mix of business. He said, “I have been working on gaming tournaments, game development, and education training for the last year and a half.
Right now, I’m in my entrepreneurial business strategy phase. I like to take ideas and bring them to life as functioning, thriving businesses.” Beyond his work in the tech space, the singer also noted that he is working on his second film and is wrapping up the script. Dr Sid also open up about the fallout from Mo’Hits, one of Nigeria’s most iconic record labels.
The group, which included music stars like Don Jazzy and D’Banj, disbanded in 2012, leaving fans speculating about the reasons behind the breakup. In a 2015 interview with The Truth With Olisa, D’Banj attributed the split to Dr Sid’s “jealousy,” claiming he felt “overshadowed” by D’Banj’s success. Addressing these allegations, Dr Sid expressed the emotional toll the breakup took on him, noting that he was unfairly blamed for the group’s collapse.
The Delta music star said, “A lot happened in Mo’Hits, and it shaped us into who we are now. People have speculated about the reasons for our breakup, but I want to clarify that it’s not my fault. There have been interviews suggesting I was to blame, but anyone who knows me understands that I’m a strong team player.
I’ve always been part of a team—from Tribe to Mo’Hits to Mavin. For me, it’s all about the team and ensuring everyone succeeds and grows together. I don’t believe in individualism. Maybe I should have been more selfish in my career, but I’ve never seen myself standing alone. I think that’s a lonely position. You can be successful while also lifting others.
