Ghanaian music star Black Sherif, despite earning several nominations at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), did not win any awards on the night—a surprising outcome for one of the country’s most prominent voices.
Black Sherif was nominated in top categories including Artiste of the Year, Best Hiplife/Hip Hop Artiste, and Most Popular Song of the Year. However, King Promise took home the coveted Artiste of the Year, while Kweku Smoke emerged as the winner of the Best Hiplife/Hip Hop Artiste category.
This marks a rare shutout for Black Sherif, especially after his impressive performances in previous years. His absence from this year’s winners list will spark conversation among fans and industry watchers, with many surprised by the outcome.
Still, Black Sherif’s musical influence remains strong. His storytelling, lyrical depth, and genre-bending style continue to win admiration both in Ghana and on international stages. His nomination for Best International Act at the 2025 BET Awards is further proof of his global reach.
Although he didn’t take home any awards this time, Black Sherif’s career trajectory remains upward, and fans eagerly await what he has in store next.
