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.

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
