Hip hop artiste, Dr. Sidney Esiri aka Dr. Sid, has reacted to the split
between the co-founders of record label, Mo’hits, Don Jazzy and Dbanj.
Dr. Sid is a dentist and member of the Mo’Hits group.
Dr. Sid said in posts on his Twitter account, @iamdrsid, on Monday that
Don Jazzy, whose real name is Michael Collins, had not been given adequate
appreciation for his contributions to the success of the label.
He, however, did not speak further on the rift between Don Jazzy and
Dbanj (real name – Dapo Oyebanjo).
Don Jazzy had in a post on Twitter on Saturday, March 17, 2012, confirmed
speculations about his split with Dbanj.
Dr. Sid, however, said the split had put all members of the Mo’hits
family in a sensitive position.
The unedited tweets read, “DonJazzy is d most important piece of Mo hits,
who doesnt get the credit he deserves, without his creativity a lot of things
will not exist.
“that being said i will not be commenting on the issue of the mohits
situation for now pls respect that its a very sensitive time for us all.”
Interestingly in his biography on his website, Dr. Sid recounts how he
moved to the United Kingdom after becoming a dentist and worked “with the likes
of JJC & the 419 squad, Felix Duke, KAS, R70 music group and a then Unknown
D’Banj.”
He also states how he “signed onto Don Jazzy’s Mo’ Hits records alongside
D’banj, Wande Coal, Kayswitch and D’Prince and featured on 7 of the 15 tracks
on the Mo Hits Allstars CV (Curriculum Vitae Album), and featured in the videos
for Move your body, booty call , kpere and Close to you.”
