Black Sherif becomes the first Ghanaian artist to reach 100million streams on Boomplay
Ghanaian rising star, Black Sherif, has hit 100million streams on Africa’s most expansive music streaming and download platform, Boomplay.
The “Kwaku the Traveller” hitmaker becomes the first Ghanaian artist to reach the 100M streams milestone on Boomplay after having had a phenomenal run since last year.
With this feat, Black Sherif joins Boomplay’s Golden Club, a list of artists who have clocked and surpassed the 100M streams milestone, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Diamond Platinumz, Fireboy DML, Joeboy, Omah Lay and Rayvanny.
“Reaching 100 million streams on Boomplay in such a short time and being the first Ghanaian artist to achieve this feat is a big deal to me. As a young kid from Konongo, who only had a dream and a voice, this brings me to the realisation that I can achieve any and everything so long as I believe and dare myself to take action. Big love to the Boomplay team for putting me on from day one till now,” Black Sherif shared.
Born Mohammed Ismail Shariff, the 20-year-old talented artist released “Money”, “Cry For Me”, and “Destiny” in 2020, which gained him some traction online. Later, he dropped “Money (remix)”, “Adea Kye”, and “Ankonam” and garnered huge buzz on Boomplay across several countries.
When Black Sherif’s “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon” were released in 2021, they went viral and brought him to the mainstream limelight. A remix of his “Second Sermon” featuring Burna Boy gave him further reach across Africa and beyond.
Consequently, during Boomplay’s Recap 2021, which highlights stats and insights of music consumption and engagement on the Boomplay platform, Blacko emerged as Ghana’s 2nd Most Streamed Artist of 2021 and his “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon” were the 1st and 2nd Most Streamed Songs of 2021 in Ghana.
His story written in bright stars, Black Sherif, went on to win the four awards at the 2022 3Music Awards, held in March 2022, including the Boomplay Breakthrough Act of the Year.
At the same event, he debuted a spectacular performance of his latest single, “Kwaku the Traveller”. The song skyrocketed him to African stardom and peaked at NO.1 on both Boomplay Ghana and Nigeria charts.
It currently has over 40 million streams on Boomplay.

Abena Korkor Attacks Mp (Video)
The Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament, Sam George, has come under fire from socialite Abena Korkor for not fixing the roads in his district.
Korkor posted a video of her community's terribly maintained roads that was shot in Tema Community 25 after recent rains.
She claims that Uber drivers won't come to the neighborhood to give rides because of how terrible the roads are.
She added that, as a result, she must travel in a motor vehicle to do all of her errands. As Korkor hauled local MP Sam George, she did not hold back.
She also had some harsh words to say about Stephanie Karikari, the former Miss Ghana, and former President Mahama, among many others.

“What If The ‘Big Mouth Association” Too Comes Out Angry?” – Shatta Wale Asks Ghana Society Of The Physically Disabled
After making fun of Stonebwoy's disabilities, Ghanaian reggae dancehall musician Shatta Wale has adamantly refused to apologize to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled (GSPD).
After Wale made fun of Stonebwoy at the just-ended Salafest, the GSPD urged the singer to recant his remarks and issue an apology.
However, Shatta Wale disregarded society's plea in a widely shared video response.
The “On God” hitmaker instead questioned society's reasoning for the demand and railed against it.
The outspoken performer said, “You can't create a problem for me; I am a problem myself.” “Everything we are doing is creating an association and paying dues; there is even an unemployed people's association.”

In an interview with Angel FM, well-known Kumawood actor Oboy Siki praised his colleague Kwaku Manu for his public persona despite his affluence.
He said that Manu is someone who worked hard to get his wealth in the entertainment sector and does not show it off in public as some do.
He said that Kwaku Manu, the actor, had constructed an opulent home in East Legon and added that there were other things he had done behind the scenes that were not made public.
“A person such as Kwaku Manu presents himself as impoverished, but in reality, he is not; he just chooses not to show it off. Even if he has a home in East Legon and all, he does not lead an opulent life. I don't give a damn about what he thinks; I'm just telling the truth,” he remarked.
Actor Kwaku Manu, who is highly recognized in the nation, currently hosts a show on which he conducts interviews with celebrities, which he shares on many social media networks.
