Ghana’s Black Sherif has been projected to win the Best International Flow award at the BET Hiphop Awards 2023.
This comes as pre-recorded snippets that leaked online this morning suggested that the ‘Kwaku The Traveler’ was on stage in the US to pick up the award.
This leaked amateur video was from the show’s taping from the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.
He beat competition from Aka (South Africa), Central Cee (UK), Gazo (France), J Hus (Uk), K.O (South Africa), Major Rd (Brazil), Ninho (France), Sampa The Great (Zambia) and Tasha & Tracie (Brazil).
Even though the main show is set to premiere on Tuesday, October 10 on BET, fans are already congratulating the Konongo-born singer on social media.
Mohammed Ismail Sherif, professionally known as Black Sherif, formerly Blacko, is a singer and rapper. He initially gained popularity in 2021 with his hit song, “First Sermon,” which he released May of the same year. This was followed up with the “Second Sermon” in July.
His breakthrough came in March 2022 with his hit single “Kwaku the Traveller,” which reached Number 1 on the Ghanaian and Nigerian Apple Music charts.
He then released his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, on October 5, 2022.
