Dr Sid on the red carpet during my intv at Darey's LLAM concert

Dr Sid and dad, the Village Headmaster Justus Esiri

I just saw Dr Sid at Darey's LLAM concert  2 days ago, and was joking with him about if he is a real doctor or he's just a Dr Dre type and that I heard his dad is some famous old Nollywood star. The bulk of my conversation had to do with the AUTOTUNE question part as the camera started rolling. Indeed his dad is Justus Esiri, the Village Headmaster in the old TV sitcom I grew up watching.

I heard Esiri died last nite and I did not want to tweet it until verified. Dr Sid is actually a degree holder in Dentistry as well and his answer to me about the autotune question was that it is NEEDED in music. I will post the video later. He put up a photo of his dad on his Twitter avatar and updated his bio as "RIP Dad" Late Mr Esiri is survived by wife, and six children, one of them being popular artiste Dr SID. He has not tweeted since.

Our thoughts and condolences are with him and his family and also his Mavin Records family.
