Black Sherif takes victory lap to Telecel Ghana HQ after 27th TGMA sweep

Black Sherif rolled into the premises of Telecel Ghana's headquarters barely two weeks after sweeping five awards at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards. He made a courtesy call on the headline sponsor.

Black Sherif, along with his management team at the Road Boys Association (RBA), met with senior executives of the telecommunications operator and the awards organisers, Charterhouse, to exchange pleasantries and discuss possible year-long partnerships during his reign. Theresa Oparebea Ayoade, CEO of Charterhouse, said that the partnership with Telecel Ghana is central to the awards' evolution over the last 15 years. She also said to Black Sherif, "It was a very competitive year, but you stood tall." Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai, the chief executive of Telecel Ghana, noted that Black Sherif is the only artiste to have won Artiste of the Year twice during her leadership tenure. She said to Black Sherif, "Congratulations Blacko, you are the only artiste who has returned to our office as Artiste of the Year twice in my seven-year period as CEO."

Black Sherif said, "My best music is yet to come." The 27th TGMA, themed "A Touch of Glitter," was held on Saturday, 9th May at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre. It doubled as a 15-year milestone for Telecel as headline sponsor. Before Black Sherif's visit, Afro-fusion music duo Lali x Lola, who won the honourary Telecel Music for Good Award, also paid a courtesy call on the headline sponsor. In addition to Artiste of the Year, Black Sherif received Album of the Year for his sophomore record, "Iron Boy," along with Song
