As news of the purported arrest of Black Sherif
sparks conversation around the artiste, who had
just returned to Ghana after his international tou,
GhanaWeb gathers that there is a twisted
narrative aimed at injuring the image of the
'Konongo Zongo' hitmaker.
Black Sherif was reported to have been arrested
at the Kotoka International Airport on the evening
of Wednesday, July 19, 2023.
According to a Kofi TV report, he was moved from
the airport to the Police Headquarters in Accra
over a contractual breach involving a July 4 show
that he failed to honour in Greece.
"We called our sources and it appears it is due to
a contractual issue he has to play on a cruise ship
in Greece having charged US$40,000 and
receiving half of the amount. He was due to
receive the balance after playing the show" Kofi
Adom stated.
Due to Blacko's supposed failure to attend the
show, the company in charge of the Greece show
lodged a complaint with the Ghana Police Service,
alleging a breach of the agreement.
However, sources tell GhanaWeb that the
narrative is skewed toward damaging Blacko's
reputation. According to the information gathered,
the businessman at the centre of the controversy
never dealt with Black Sherif directly, but rather
the agent of the musician.
GhanaWeb is informed that the businessman
sought to arrange a cruise ship performance
featuring Black Sherif. This was welcomed by
Blacko's agent, a renowned global company that
represents different brands.
The agreement between the agent and the
businessman was reached with a booking fee of
US$40,000 expected to be paid for the
performance. The businessman, according to
sources, made an initial deposit of US$20,000 to
Blacko's agent.
Although the deliverables did not include
promotional videos, the businessman, according
to the sources, later made demands for such, a
move the artiste and his agent turned down on
the basis that it was not stipulated in the contract.
The incessant request, which transmogrified into
threats, led to a decision by the musician and his
agent to refund the US$20,000 initial deposit, "but
the man rejected the refund," GhanaWeb was
