Black Sherif, the reigning Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year has revealed why he wasn’t seen on stage with Sarkodie during the latter’s performance of their hit song, ‘Countryside.’
In an interview on TV3’s New Day, Black Sherif explained that production rules prevented him from performing twice after his own set of performance earlier in the evening.
“After my set, I was not supposed to come back on stage to join him,” he revealed.
He also added that, he chose not to perform with Sarkodie because he wanted to experience the legendary rapper’s performance as a fan.
“I am a big fan of Sarkodie. I wanted to sit and experience him perform,” Black Sherif said.
The decision not to perform with Sarkodie shocked fans as the two Artistes have a great working relationship and have collaborated on what is considered one of the biggest songs of this era.
According to him, his respect and admiration for the rapper led him to make this choice.
Despite not performing with Sarkodie, the song also snagged the Best Collaboration of the Year at the VGMA.
Black Sherif won five awards out of 11 nominations. He won; Best Hip-hop Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Hip-life/Hip-hop Artiste, Most Popular Song of the year and the flagship, Artiste of the Year.
