I went to beg for a car but ended up featuring Black Sherif- Amerado
Ghanaian rapper, Amarado has narrated events leading to his collaboration with Black Sherif on the smash hit song, ‘Abotr3’ to wit, Patience.
Amerado in 2021 had a huge record dubbed ‘Abotr3’ on his Patience EP, the song made a lot of waves and was nominated by numerous award schemes.
Speaking in an interview with 3 Music’s Big Convo, he said the purpose of his visit to Black Sherif’s camp was to beg his then manager, Shadrach Agyei Owusu, Also Known As, Snap Wayne Chavis.
“I’m going to open up, I went to the UK and a friend of mine who connected through Facebook told me he knew Black Sherif’s then manager. At the time I didn’t have a car, so he told me if I wanted a car, he could link me up,” he said.
According to the rapper, his friend informed him that Black Sherif’s then Manager, “Snap Wayne Chavis, liked me, so when I returned to Ghana from the UK, the first thing I did was to go to him.”
Amerado revealed that when he got to the house and called him, Chavis informed him that they were eating at the East Legon branch of Starbite.
“I went there, and he was eating with Black Sherif and the crew, I sat down and waited for them, he asked whether I had eaten and bought food for me,” he added.
Interestingly, when they got home and he was asked what his mission was, he quickly switched from his pursuit of a car to a feature with Black Sherif.
“When they asked me what I wanted to do, I told them I wanted to feature Black Sherif, at the time, he had done his second sermon, and when I met him, I felt like this was my moment, I had to take advantage of the opportunity,” Amerado revealed.
According to Amerado, “he told me they had a studio there, I already had a beat on my phone; however, luckily, I saw Producer Samsney, who then started programming something new, for this reason, I held on to my earlier beat.”
The Abotr3 hitmaker said Black Sherif asked for the message he wanted on the song, “and I told him our journey had been rough before getting here, so it would be better we talk about patience, the need to excise patience in one’s quest to get to the top.”
Amerado said, Black Sherif started with some melodies, and they had such a big song dubbed ‘Abotr3’.
He applauded Black Sherif for accepting his request to do a song with him, a song that turned out to be his maiden hit.

The Christmas festivities were nothing short of fun and excitement, especially for patrons of Dodi World in Akosombo in the Eastern Region.
A major highlight was a memorable voyage aboard the famous MV Dodi Princess II, a 150-capacity pleasure boat, which sailed to the scenic Dodi Island, an 84-hectare natural haven.
Among the patrons was a vibrant social group known as ‘Weekend Day Out’, which brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and workplaces to interact, share ideas and enjoy memorable leisure experiences.
On December 26, the group joined hundreds of other fun lovers to fill the vessel to capacity for what many described as an experience of a lifetime.
The over five-hour journey from Dodi World through to Dodi Island was electrifying. Patrons enjoyed breath-taking rare views of the island’s rich natural scenery and wildlife before returning onboard for the cruise back to the starting point.
The atmosphere was further enlivened by music from DJs and a live band, complemented by an array of drinks and grilled meals, ensuring both young and old had something to cheer about throughout the voyage.
For members of the Weekend Day Out group, the trip served as a joyful reunion with friends after a year of professional commitments, while also providing an opportunity to plan future adventures in the coming year.
Speaking after the event, one of the patrons, Ms Gloria Yaa Baby, said although she had embarked on the voyage several times, the most recent experience was particularly breathtaking and memorable.
“This one was different, with more people and interactive sessions. It gave me many reasons to return and experience the fun again with the Weekend Day Out group,” she stated.
With another exciting adventure scheduled for March this year, she encouraged Ghanaians to make time out of their busy schedules to relax, unwind and enjoy life.
