On the evening of July 19, 2023, musician Black Sherif was taken into custody at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

He was transferred from the airport to the police headquarters in Accra, according to a Kofi TV report, because of a contract violation regarding a July 4 show that he failed to honor in Greece.

Kofi Adomah, host of the Kofi TV channel on YouTube, further disclosed that the reason the musician was detained at the airport was because he had been added to the stop list following a client complaint that led to his inclusion on the list.

“We called our sources and it appears it is due to a contractual issue he has to play on a cruise ship in Greece having charged US$40,000 and receiving half of the amount.

After the performance, he was supposed to get the remaining amount, Kofi said.

Blacko ignored the July 4 show date and did not perform.
