Black Stars captain Gyan Denis Using Friend as part of a ritual sacrifice

The Black Stars captain says claims he killed his friend and fellow Ghanaian Castro (born Theophilus Tagoe) as part of a ritual sacrifice are “wild and absurd.”

Castro, whose hits include “Jealousy” and “African Girls” (the latter was performed with Gyan), went missing in July along with friend Janet Bandu.

They disappeared while using jet skis on holiday with the Al-Ain striker’s family in the Ghanaian coastal town of Ada.

Allegations in Ghana’s media suggested the disappearance was suspicious.

Castro and Bandu were last seen heading towards the ocean on a jet ski and were presumed drowned.

No bodies were recovered and rumours continued to circulate this month when Gyan’s brother, Baffour Gyan, was alleged to have been part of a gang which attacked a journalist who had asked the player about the rumours. The assault charges on Baffour have since been dropped.

You’ve done ‘Baby Tornado’ video, is there going to be another video?
The album has 20 tracks; 18 songs and 2 bonus tracks and we’ve promoted a few songs. Last year, we started with singles before the album came out. Some of the singles were Lady Don Dada, Love Mine and Talented. We also had Baby Tornado and then we had Baby Tornado remix which we just dropped a video for this year. We promoted Surulere and Kilon wa too with videos as well. And then Baby Tornado came out.

It’s fantastic. Every career has ups and downs and right now, we’re on an upward movement, and we’re very excited about that
Have you done the Seduction tour?
I did the Seduction UK tour in February and we toured a few cities in Nigeria; Benin, Abuja and some other places, but we’re going back on a tour by the end of the year. It’s going to be busy and hectic so there’s not too much time to schedule, we’re booked almost every weekend.

Dr. Sid
Is it in Lagos or abroad?
We planned a Euro tour but we had to move it to next year because there’s so much going on in Nigeria at the moment. We got too many bookings to be gone for a long period of time so we pushed the European tour to next year. This year we have two Mavin concerts coming up in Nigeria; one in October and then on December 24th, Christmas Eve in Lagos
Who is your biggest inspiration in music?
I don’t have inspirations; I only have people I respect. I respect what they’ve done with their music and what they‘ve done with their brands. I respect Jay Z, P Diddy, Beyonce and R Kelly. I respect different people for different reasons because there are aspects of their careers and lives that I admire.
The Baby Tornado video, where did you shoot it?
Baby Tornado video was shot in London with the X factor winner Alexandra Burke. It was a very beautiful production, I totally enjoyed it
How did you guys meet?
She’s a very close friend to my wife but apparently, she has been trying to do music with me for a long time and she just happened to ask my wife. Introductions were made and music was created.
It could not have been easy getting Funke Akindele, Helen Paul to be in your Surulere video?
They’re all personal friends of mine. These are people I’ve known for a long time and when I asked them to be part of the video, they were all excited and they all made that video absolutely fantastic. As a matter of fact, I think I need to tweet at them today and just tell them ‘Thank you’ for all the nominations we’re getting
How did you feel getting the MTN ambassadorship?
It’s a beautiful thing for a brand like MTN to recognize that a brand like Dr Sid is strong enough to represent their brand. Obviously, you know that Dr Sid has something to offer and bring something to the table, so I feel very honoured and excited about the possibilities
What is the idea behind Mavin Records?
Mavin Records is a lifestyle brand, it’s a total package.  It’s love, responsibility, passion, it’s everything.   When you say a l
