When Paul Play stormed the music scene with a resurrected version of his father’s Mo So Rire in 1999, everyone knew a star had been born and then he hit usagain and again the following year with hit single’s Angel of my life, Forever, You and me and his career shot for the skies, the rest you know is history.

But for long now, Paul Play has been missing in action. His illness being the number one reason that has sent him into a long hiatus and now Paul Play Dairo may have merged with history itself.

In an interview he granted a reporter early this year, Paul Play thankfully jumped back into our consciousness. In that interview, he admitted his disappearance; blaming it rightly on an illness that almost wiped his name cleanoff the slate of music or perhaps this very world. He said he had been taking time to recuperate and was now set to launch a new album which would be in limited supply as it was going to be an ”expensive” album… (just like 2face’s)

That interview is now more than six months old and music fans as they are known world wide have really short memory.

So on Star Search this week, we ask : Where is Paul Play Dairo? And we also ask you our readers to tackle this question: why do our celebrities who once had it big in music eventually fade away?

i hope the moderators pick this up and put it on the front page. I have been pondering on this question

I am... PAUL IK DAIRO... Watch out 4 my new album titled ' i am... Nebuchadnezzar IV' lolz

I hav being asking everyone this question too. front page plsssssss.

Honestly Paul Play is one of the real things that we have in Nigeria Hip hop stuff. He is cool with a good voice and nice lyrics. He is a real star and not all these school boyz that now sing trash called music. Hope and pray is fine and can bounce back soon.

Even Styl-Plus, I'm still wondering what has happened with these dudes. Stay alive, runaway, olufunmi and even call my name are all good stuffs that I cannot 4get so soon. There are really many of them. Slam, another nice musician... Really miss dem.

Paul Play...he is one of the few artist I respect in this country...he is really talented...still play some of his songs almost everyday...my favorite (You and Me) I love paul play...can't wait for his new album...May God almighty perfect his healing in Jesus Name....#StandUpBro...no time

QUESTION:- where is paul play Diaro
ANSWER:- He went to church

Obiora Obiwon reminds me so much of this guy.
They should do a collabo one of these days.

Lost in a forest.

As life is a stage according to William Shakespear, so also is the music industry; i hope and pray he isn't batteling another ailement, and if he isn't i think he just could'nt stand the heat put up by the young lad's in the music industry. But i wish him all the best of luck, in me he still has a fan.

whilst i was in church couple of hrs ago, i thought about the chap cos i took an interlude with my keyboard 'mo so rire o, eleda mi modupe o'

I heard from a renowed Journalist sometimes ago that Paul has cancer and was in South Africa for treatment.

The write up above also confirmed a sickness.

May be he's battling the cancer.

May God help him

Thanks Mukina for putting this on the front page though it seem few undesirable elements have been commenting. People talk about "Mo Sori Ire" but his song "Gbemileke" is one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard. Personally, I think he is been attacked spiritually by some folks in the music industry who see him as a threat and he has lost the drive for music. I hope the words of his song "Gbemileke" comes true for him
