Yesterday the news of Black Sherif’s arrest at Kotoka International Airport sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry.
Initially shrouded in mystery, more details have now emerged, shedding light on the circumstances leading to the arrest of the talented artist.
According to sources, Black Sherif’s arrest was triggered by a dispute with a cruise ship company.
The company had reached out to the artist’s management, seeking his performance at the second edition of their musical cruise, “Afro Cruise Jam,” scheduled to take place on August 19, 2023, in Greece.
Previous editions of the cruise had featured renowned artists such as Grammy award winner Gramps Morgan and the legendary Abrantie Amakye Dede with his Apollo High-Kings band.
A financial agreement was made, with Cruise People Ltd agreeing to pay $40,000 for Black Sherif’s performance. As part of the contract, an initial payment of $20,000 was made to the artist, who acknowledged the receipt of the funds.
The dispute arose when the cruise company requested a video recording of Black Sherif confirming his participation and availability for the event.
Despite several email requests, the artist allegedly refused to fulfill this part of the contract, prompting the cruise company to seek legal action.
Frustrated by the artist’s lack of cooperation, Cruise People Ltd reported the matter to the police, suspecting that Black Sherif and his management had no intention of fulfilling their contractual obligations, which could tarnish the cruise company’s image.
As the situation unfolds, fans and industry insiders eagerly await updates from Black Sherif’s camp on how they plan to address the dispute.
The incident has sparked discussions about the importance of honoring contractual commitments and the potential consequences of failing to do so.
