Things eventually cooled off between them with Tiwa continuing her journey into further musical greatness with a soon-to-be-revealed music management deal with Roc Nation and a US tour in promotion of her RED album in July 2016.
In between, Dr Sid has spoken on the situation and his response to allegations that he had an affair with Tiwa is as real as it gets.
In a recent chat with The Sun, the Surulere crooner stated that Tiwa is a good friend of his and a hard worker even as he hopes she sorts out issues with Tee Billz.
He said:
“Tiwa Savage is, and will always be, a good friend of mine.
“She is a hard worker. All we need to do is to pray for them and hope that everything is sorted out soon. Tiwa also said a lot in her interview, so I am sure she has cleared the air on that. On my own, my wife and I are good. Everybody is fine.”
Dr SID has had an interesting music career, first starting off with foremost hip hop group Da Trybes under the tutelage of eLDee The Don in the ‘90s into the early 2000s and then joining forces with the defunct Mo’Hits Records under Dbanj and Don Jazzy.
With the fall out between Don Jazzy and Dbanj in 2012, SID continued with Jazzy under the new Mavin Records imprint and it’s been a fun ride seeing the singer and songwriter churn out hit after hit in the ever evolving Nigerian music industry.
