VGMA Artiste of the Year, Black Sherif, recently addressed the issue of his songs being leaked before their official release. Expressing his disappointment with the situation, the talented musician urged his fans to enjoy the leaked tracks while assuring them of new music in the pipeline. However, amidst the leak controversy, the artist also found himself embroiled in legal troubles that disrupted his upcoming performance plans. Here’s a rundown of what transpired.
In a report by The Culture Joint, Black Sherif condemned the unauthorized leakage of his songs, referring to the perpetrators as ‘Babylons.’ He expressed frustration over tracks that were recorded years ago but leaked ahead of their intended release dates, accusing the culprits of attempting to hinder his musical progress. Despite his discontent, the artist implored his loyal fans to enjoy the leaked music but reminded them that an official release would be accompanied by his endorsement through social media.
On July 22, just before his performance at the University of Ghana, Black Sherif addressed the song leakage issue. During the show, he performed “Bad Bitches,” one of the leaked songs, to the delight of the audience, who cheered him on. This demonstration of resilience and determination showcased his commitment to his craft and his fans.
Unfortunately, the past few days have not been smooth sailing for Black Sherif, as news of his alleged arrest at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) spread like wildfire on social media. According to a police source the arrest occurred on the night of Wednesday, July 19, following a complaint of fraud against the artist by Cruise People Limited (Your Cruise People).
Reportedly, Black Sherif was scheduled to perform on a cruise starting August 19, 2023, and had already received half of his fees. However, he allegedly failed to fulfill promotional obligations for the show, leading to its cancellation by the organizers. The specific details surrounding the alleged fraud complaint remain undisclosed.
