Black Sherif, the current Artiste of the Year, made a special gesture of love when he received the honor, and it has helped him enter new musical avenues.
Blacko, as he is sometimes known, thanked legendary musician Adane Best for his ten-year-old song Maafio while accepting his prestigious award at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
The song conveys a message of hope that his forecasts regarding the music industry and awards are coming to pass, he remarked in an interview on TV3 that was monitored by this website.
He continued by saying that Adane Best is his idol because he grew up appreciating his music thanks to his mother, an ardent admirer of the artist.
“Singing Adane Best’ song on stage is like a culture. I love him soo much. The love did not start today or five years ago, we love him from home. My mother loves him so much. I have even recorded a song for him.”
While he was still in the business of singing praises to Adane’s name, the veteran artiste surprised him by calling in on the show to express his heartfelt gratitude.
Blacko was left speechless and in disbelief as he listened attentively to the words of blessings his idol proclaimed into his life.
Adane Best thanked Blacko for reminding the world of his legacy and for showcasing his love for him publicly on such a grand stage. The two hinted of a possible collaboration in the coming days.
