The music star hit back at these performances online, saying it was a crazy spin a post on the internet.
“I don’t know where in my speech it says no foreign music. How crazy can you send a message that says love your culture and try playing local music to your guests if you want to see your country’s creatives break boundaries.”
“How I want foreign music banned in my country while working with foreign producers and artists? But the agenda is set ah lie? Good luck everyone.”

Black Sheriff wins as court dismisses case from Cruise People
On November 16, an Accra High Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by Cruise People Ltd against Black Sherif.
Cruise People accused the musician of reneging on an agreement, resulting in the cancellation of a concert.
Cruise People argued that this cancellation of the concert caused the company to lose money.
The saga started when, on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, Black Sherif was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport.
The company claimed it paid Black Sherif $20,000 as half payment for his participation in the Afro Cruise Jam, a cruise that took place in Greece and Turkey in August, but failed to support his side of making promotional videos.
