“It’s my hard work not luck” – Black Sherif replies Blakk Rasta
3Music Awards’ Breakthrough Act of The Year, Black Sherif, says he disagrees with those who think his success is not based on his hard work but on a stroke of luck.
The artist made this comment in response to a statement by broadcaster and reggae musician, Blakk Rasta, who suggested in an interview that Black Sherif got his breakthrough via luck.
Black Sherif, however, dismissed Blakk Rasta’s claims in an interview on Citi TV’s Upside-Down show. The artist asserted that the commitment and dedication he has put into his work must be appreciated.
He added that he used to enjoy Blakk Rasta’s songs when he was younger as his father likes the reggae artist.
“When his Barack Obama song became a hit (in 2008), my father had just returned from Greece, we often listened to it at home.”
Black Sherif, who was recently chosen by YouTube an Artist on the Rise, said he is honoured by the support he has received from some people when he started out as a musician 3 years ago.
According to the budding but sensational talent, it was through Ajeezay, a comedian, that he first visited Accra from Konongo, his hometown.
Kwaku the Traveller, the song that propelled Black Shrerif’s career globally has recorded over 75 million streams in its first month of release. The song, produced by Joker Nharnah, peaked at Number 1 in both Ghana and Nigeria on the Apple Music Chart.
In the same month, Shazam announced that the song was the most searched song on the app.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
