Ghana's music sensation, Black Sherif, proudly received the prestigious Best International Flow award at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards, standing out among a talented field of contenders from across the globe, including AKA from South Africa, Central Cee from the UK, Gazo from France, J Hus from the UK, K.O from South Africa, Major RD from Brazil, Ninho from France, Sampa The Great from Zambia, and Tasha & Tracie from Brazil.

During his acceptance speech, Black Sherif, whose career has experienced remarkable growth since its inception about four years ago, shared a remarkable insight. He mentioned that he had a premonition of winning this award in a dream. Furthermore, he touched on the theme of resilience and determination, highlighting how these qualities have propelled him to his current status.

In an inviting and empowering gesture, Black Sherif extended an invitation to all those present to reconnect with their roots in Africa, where he described everyone as kings and queens, reinforcing the continent's cultural significance.

“I saw this in my sleep every night. I started making music four years ago in a small city in Ghana called Konongo Zongo and there was no way nobody was going to convince me that I wouldn’t be here, that my music was not going blow. Thank you very much, BET…Remember you are kings and queens back home, welcome back home.”
