At some point the German rapper Sido felt very reduced by the mask and thought that people would find the mask cool instead of the guy behind it.
Berlin – Rapper Sido does not regret having taken off his silver mask. “I think it would have happened at some point anyway,” says the musician in the dpa interview. “At the latest, my vanity would have ensured that the mask had to come off.” At some point he felt reduced to his mask and asked himself: “Do you actually think the mask is cool or the guy behind it?”
“I also had the feeling that it wouldn’t be long before I was unmasked,” says Sido. People and the public were very curious. “There was a page called Sido-ohne-Mask.de, where people from school used to be able to put photos of me online,” says the musician. “I’d rather do it myself before there’s a big newspaper somewhere saying, ‘Here he is’.”
Since 2005, the German rapper (“Mein Block”) has appeared without his silver mask. “It would probably have been better to have had the mask until today,” says Sido. “But I don’t think I would have managed it.” dpa
