Black Sherif didn’t lose BET, his nomination is a win – Reggie Rockstone
Reggie Rockstone, the grandfather of hiplife, has refuted claims that Black Sherif's inability to win the 2022 BET Best International Flow award is a loss.
He considered the young musician's nomination at the prestigious awards ceremony after only two years in the business a victory in and of itself.
Reggie Rockstone told Dennis Adu of AdomOnline that “he didn't lose, absolutely not it. He won. being only mentioned How much time has a man spent inside? Although he only recently began making songs, he quickly received a nomination. He's triumphant.
The ‘Makaa Maka' hitmaker added that Black Sherif's nomination and consistent growth are even more impressive when people notice he is being himself and staying away from copying trends or joining the new Afrobeats craze.
“This person doesn't play Afrobeat or Hip Hop, and you get his whole vibe. He really defines what I always tell everyone. You don't need to follow trends. Everyone is doing Afrobeats, and he went the other way.
“It's very hard right now not to be influenced by what is going on around you. That is why it's difficult to tell the difference between Ghanaian musicians and Nigerian artistes. He is just like Kwaw Kese, he never changes his style,” he noted.
Reggie Rockstone said he is glad to be alive to witness some of these growths in the music industry.
