"Black Sherif is working hard and smart" - Boadu-Ayeboafoh
Entertainment pundit, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh spoke to YEN.com.gh about Black Sherif being the most streamed Ghanaian musician in the country
He noted that Black Sherif and his team were working hard and smart and that despite him not releasing an album in 2024, he capitalised on strategic features to keep his brand afloat.
"He and his team are working hard and smart. In a year without an album, he capitalised on strategic features to keep his brand and music in our faces."
Explaining further, Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh stated that another strategy that helped Black Sherif was the singles he dropped.
He noted that Blacko's upcoming album will be released in 2025 and that he stood another chance of being the most streamed Ghanaian musician.
"This coupled with single releases and an anticipation of his sophomore has led to him being a force to reckon with. With his album now coming in 2025, he stands the chance of being the most streamed Ghanaian artist back-to-back."
