Black Sherif made a mistake joining #PlayGhana initiative

Ghanaian politician and former musician, A Plus, has criticized rapper and afro-pop star Black Sherif for aligning himself with the #PlayGhana initiative.

The initiative is aimed at getting the general public and other stakeholders, including DJs, to play more Ghanaian music on the airwaves and at events.

Black Sherif, who is currently regarded by many as Ghana’s biggest musician and has wide international appeal, was at the launch of the #PlayGhana initiative organized by the Creative Arts Council.

The “Second Sermon” hit-maker called for DJs and radio presenters to play more Ghanaian music at events and on radio.

However, while expressing his opinion about the PlayGhana initiative on the United Showbiz programme on UTV, A Plus stated that he was disappointed in Sherif because he felt that Nigeria had shown him more love than Ghana. Therefore, he believed it was wrong for Sherif to call for a ban on Nigerian music.

“Black Sherif is Blacko today because other countries play his songs. I can say that Nigerians even consume his content and play his songs more than Ghanaians. We had Basta Rymes and other international artists playing his music and he wants to ban other people’s songs in his country,” he said.
