The main reason why Black Sherif arrested at KIA revealed.
The Ghanaian popular musician and singsongwriter known as Blacko, was arrested by the police yesterday at the Kotoka International Airport, as we all know.
When the news was first announce and was trending on medias about the arrest of Black Sherif, no details were attached to the post aside from the fact that he was picked up by some plain-clothed security men on his arrival in Ghana.
With Information gathered has it that Black Sherif‘s arrest was caused by a cruise ship, which paid him money to perform but he was failed to show up.
According to the source, the cruise ship reached out to the management of Mohammed Sharrif, aka Black Sherrif, to perform at the second edition of its musical cruise onboard a cruise ship dubbed Afro Cruise Jam on August 19, 2023, in Greece.
The first edition, which was held last year, featured Grammy Award winners Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage fame and Abrantie Amakye Dede and his Apollo High-Kings.
Cruise People Ltd. was charged Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($40,000), and it was further agreed between Cruise People Ltd., the artiste, and his booking agents (United Talent Agency, a.k.a. Echo Location Talent Agency) that an initial payment of Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) shall be paid to him to firm up the agreement, and in return he will record a video confirming his participation and availability for the said show on the cruise ship at the agreed dates.
The company proceeded to pay the initial deposit via swift bank transfer to his London account as agreed, and the artist acknowledged receipt of payment.
Following a series of email correspondences between Cruise People Ltd. and the artist, the company reiterated to him that they needed the video recording of him confirming his performance on the cruise ship on the dates agreed upon.
They went further to notify him that they had arranged a media engagement with Multimedia Group on Friday, May 19, 2023, at 3 p.m., for which the said video clip announcing his performance and availability for the event on the cruise ship will be broadcast to enhance the marketability of the event. But Blacko allegedly refused to fulfill his part of the contract.
Due to that, the cruise ship decided to report the artist and his management to the Police service so they could take action against them.
From other sources, the cruise ship claims that they believe the action by Blacko and his management is a sign they are not going to turn up for the event, which would tarnish their image.
We wait patiently for an update from the camp of Black Sherif to see the way forward and how things will be carryout.
