On the evening of July 19, 2023, renowned musician Black Sherif encountered an interruption at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). Upon his arrival in the country, he was detained due to his name being placed on a 'STOP LIST.'

According to a report from Kofi TV, the action was taken in connection to a contract that Black Sherif had allegedly failed to fulfill, leading to a formal complaint against him. Kofi Adomah, the host of Kofi TV channel on YouTube, disclosed this information.

As news of the supposed 'arrest' spread on social media, speculations surged, as no visual evidence was available. However, blogger Nkonkonsa has since shared what seems to be the first images of Black Sherif being escorted out of the airport. The video, posted on Twitter, depicts the artist being led into a vehicle by two individuals, one in police uniform and the other in civilian attire.

The Kofi TV report further revealed that after leaving the airport, Black Sherif was taken to the police headquarters in Accra for further processing.

The contractual dispute that led to this situation revolves around a scheduled show on July 4, which the musician allegedly failed to fulfill in Greece. It is reported that he was supposed to perform on a cruise ship and had charged US$40,000 for the engagement, receiving half of the payment in advance.
