Revealed: the real reason Black Sherif was detained

  The source said that the singer arrived at Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday evening, July 19, 2023, and was met by Ghana Police.

The "Soja" hitmaker was arrested, according to Nkonkonsa reports, since he allegedly accepted money and contracts to play at a cruise ship event but declined to carry out his obligation.

Cruise People Limited (Your Cruise People) has contracted with the management of Mohammed Sherrif (Black Sherrif) for the musician's appearance at the second iteration of its musical cruise on board a cruise ship titled Afro Cruise Jam on August 19, 2023, in Greece.

Grammy Award winner Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage and Abrantie Amakye Dede and his Apollo High-Kings both gave performances during the first event, which took place the year before.

The artist received a remuneration of forty thousand dollars ($40,000) from Cruise People Ltd. The musician was also required to make a video confirming his participation and availability for the specific event aboard the cruise ship at the scheduled time in exchange for receiving an initial payment of $20,000 to formalize the deal.

The initial deposit was swiftly transferred by the company to the artist's London account, and the latter acknowledged receipt of payment. Cruise People Ltd. reminded him that they wanted a video of him verifying his arrival on the cruise ship on the stated dates after multiple emails between the company and the artist.

He was also told by the business that Multimedia Group would be the subject of a media event on May 19, 2023, starting at 3 p.m. It will air the video clip promoting his appearance and availability for the cruise ship event. Blacko, however, is accused of refusing to fulfill his contract-related duties.
