Ghanaian star Black Sherif has been named Artiste of the Year at the 27th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, a moment that further cements his rise as one of the country’s most influential modern musicians.
It has been a standout year for the “Popstar” hitmaker, who has consistently made waves with his unique sound, powerful storytelling, and energetic performances. From filling venues to releasing songs that dominated playlists and charts, Black Sherif remained a constant force in the music scene, earning him strong backing heading into the awards night.
When his name was announced, the atmosphere inside the venue erupted. Taking the stage to accept the honour, he expressed heartfelt appreciation to God, his team, his family, and the fans who have stood by him throughout his journey. He acknowledged how far he has come and the support that continues to push him forward.
He also shared a message of gratitude and confidence about what lies ahead, hinting that his creative journey is far from over and more music is on the way, describing it as a new “season” of his career.
His win quickly sparked celebration online, with fans and industry colleagues praising him for his consistency, authenticity, and growth. Many described the award as a deserved recognition of his impact over the past year.
